# Font Helper
**Font Helper for Figma for Linux OS.**
## Attention!
Figma has now made a change to their web application so that the request for local fonts will not be made if your browser agent defined like the Linux version.
## Install
Run this in your terminal
```bash
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Figma-Linux/figma-linux-font-helper/master/res/install.sh | bash
```
## How it works
Font Helper is a simple http server which responds with a list of locally installed fonts upon request from Figma client. Figma sends an HTTP request to `localhost` upon loading to see which local fonts are available for usage in the Figma client
## How to add directories
You can modify Font Helper config file with normal user privileges.
The config is a simple JSON file which is located in `~/.config/figma-linux/settings.json`
```bash
nano ~/.config/figma-linux/settings.json
```
After that You need to restart Font Helper service to apply the changes:
```bash
systemctl --user restart figma-fonthelper.service
```
## Where to find logs
The app put all logs into the `/var/log/fonthelper` directory.
When Font Helper starts it create a new log file in the directory each time.
## Check Font Helper service status
Just type this in terminal for check status of Font Helper:
```bash
systemctl --user status figma-fonthelper.service
```
## Updating Font Helper
Font Helper updates automatically via `figma-fonthelper-updater.service` service.
You don't need to update Font Helper manually by default unless you have disabled the said service
## How to disable auto updates
Disable the updater systemd service:
```bash
systemctl --user stop figma-fonthelper-updater.service
systemctl --user disable ffigma-onthelper-updater.service
```
To enable auto update again:
```bash
systemctl --user start figma-fonthelper-updater.service
systemctl --user enable figma-fonthelper-updater.service
```
## Check your currently installed Font Helper version
In terminal:
```bash
~/.local/share/figma-fonthelper/fonthelper -v
```
