Select text layer(s) that previously used an RTL plugin.Upgrade specific text layers using RTL plugins in Figma design files to use Figma's RTL and bidirectional text features.

If the plugin doesn’t provide a way to reset the text, you can still upgrade it to use Figma’s RTL and bidi features, but you will need to create a new text layer and rewrite your copy. This ensures your text will flow as expected when you upgrade to using Figma’s RTL and bidirectional features. If the font you’re using does not support the RTL scripts you’re typing, Figma will fall back to a different font ↓.īefore you upgrade: Check the RTL plugin for a way to reset the text to its original state before the plugin was used. If you're using Figma in the browser, you can install the Figma Font Helper to access your local fonts.įigma’s default font list includes RTL fonts. If you are using the Figma desktop app, you can use any fonts already on your computer.

Direction controlsįigma supports bidirectional text, so you can write in both LTR and RTL scripts in the same paragraph.

When clicking and holding your mouse to highlight bits of text, the highlight moves in the direction of the selected language. When using the left and right arrow keys to navigate through your text, think of their directions as “forward” and “backward” based on the direction setting ↓ of the text. Mixing RTL and LTR scripts in the same text layer affects how highlighting and cursor movements work. In FigJam, text will automatically right-align on new stickies if you’re typing in an RTL script. If you need different text alignment, create a new text layer. Note: Each text layer can have one text alignment.
