1. In your home directory, create a new directory named Fonts;
2. Put your custom fonts in this new directory;
3. Open the terminal app, past this sudo nano /etc/figma-linux/fonthelper and press ENTER (put your password and press ENTER again;
4. You got a code like that:

{
  "port": "111111",
  "directories": [
    "/usr/share/fonts",
    "/root/.local/share/fonts"
  ]
}

5. Add one more line, with the path to your new Fonts directory. The final code will be like that:

{
  "port": "111111",
  "directories": [
    "/usr/share/fonts",
    "/root/.local/share/fonts",
    "/home/yourusername/Fonts/"
  ]
}

Remember to change yourusername to your system user name AND to put a comma after the line 5;

6. Press CTRL + X to close and Y to save;
7. Still in the terminal, past this line sudo systemctl restart fonthelper.service and press ENTER;

The font service will be restarted and your custom fonts are now available in Figma web.
