I cannot change the font of text?

Hi,

I’m working on a macbook pro Sonoma 14.5 (23F79) with Sketch Version 2025.1.3 (203472)

If I select some text it simply will not let me change it from Montserrat. All my other fonts are installed and permissions granted. It always used to work and I’ve not changed anything to my knowledge, it simply skips back to montserrat on the dropdown when I try to select anything else. It’s driving me insane and making the app completely unusable! Someone please help!?

Hi @littleninja

Thanks for reaching out. I’m sorry about the situation. Let me try to help you out.

About the issue, this is something I’ve seen it before, and I would like to ask you whether you are able to change the font after you edit the text. Meaning, if you:

  1. Select the text layer
  2. Double-click to edit the text inside that text layer
  3. Select the whole text
  4. Try to change the font

Does that resolve the issue? Or does the issue persist?

Let me know how this goes. :crossed_fingers:

Are you using variable fonts? If you set a custom variable style to a textfield, it’s impossible to change the font family afterward.

This bug is still present and has the same behaviour:
