Find Font (globally replace one font with another)

Include a "find font" panel like in Adobe Illustrator to globally replace one font with another. Even with the symbol/assets panel this is hard for documents that you did not architect and may require a lot of extra work (i.e. the iOS UI kits in a windows environment where San Francisco font has to be downloaded from third party sources and converted manually to .ttf)

    I have a work around on this issue.
    adobe xd version 39.0
    1. highlight an artboard
    2. switch to "document asset" panel
    3. click the "+" in "character style" section
    4. you will see all the font in the artboard will be added to this section
    5. found the font you want to change and right click "edit"
    6. change the font style

  • Matt Martin commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yes please! This would be super useful when importing PSD designs that don't have character styles setup

  • John commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yeah this is a complete nightmare if you haven't used the character styles. Even then, character styles are pretty bad and it doesn't work well.

    We have a design system with hundreds of components using San Francisco. I'm on windows and need to swap font globally to Roboto.

    Step 3 was there just to show me what I was going to change.

    It would also be nice to hear if this process was 'useful' rather than that one step was 'useless'.

  • Vnz commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Step 3 is useless

    1. Select a word in the text that you want to change
    2. Select Add Character Style
    4. Right click on the new Character Style and select Edit.
    5. Change the Font to what you want

    Try this. It worked for me.

    1. Select a word in the text that you want to change
    2. Select Add Character Style
    3. Right click on the new Character Style and select Highlight on Canvas
    4. Right click on the new Character Style and select Edit.
    5. Change the Font to what you want

    All of the selected text is now in the new font.
    You may have to repeat this process for font size variants.

    Hope it works for you.

    Its ridiculous how this is not a feature. XD can tell me when a font is not supported, show me all instances of the font, and let me replace them with another. But it can't let me perform the same task when there isn't an issue??

  • Arti Nishant commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    This is 2019 but still this option not available in XD. Actually it is very needed feature.

  • Simon Müller commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    That is a really good idea and an absolute necessity for our Prototypes when we work on different enddevices iOS/Android.
