Glyph Inspector

About this plugin

Glyph Inspector is a file-first Figma plugin built for designers who need complete, accurate access to a typeface’s glyph set.Instead of relying on Figma’s restricted font API, Glyph Inspector parses real font files (.ttf, .otf, .woff, .var) to reveal the full character set exactly as it exists in the source. This means you can explore alternates, unencoded glyphs, and the true structure of any font with precision.Key features:File-first glyph parsing for complete and accurate character accessSupport for static and variable fonts with clear typeface/variant structureUpload or load fonts from APIs and CSS endpointsAdvanced search by glyph name, Unicode block, or hex values (e.g. U+00A9)Seamless insertion into text, with automatic node creationIntelligent vector fallback when fonts aren’t installed locallyRecent glyph tracking and persistent workspace stateLoad fonts via upload or API, navigate clearly structured glyph groups, and insert characters directly into your designs. When a font isn’t installed locally, the plugin intelligently falls back to high-fidelity vector shapes.
Your font files stay yours. Glyph Inspector does not store, copy, or transmit your font data. Everything is processed locally within your session.
Designed with a clean and modern interface, the experience stays fast, fluid, and focused so you can spend less time troubleshooting fonts and more time designing with them.For UI, Brand and type designers, and anyone who cares about the details — Glyph Inspector brings you closer to the true glyph-set of your fonts.
