Ghost Glyphs

About this plugin

Ghost Glyphs is a file-first Figma plugin built for designers who need complete, accurate access to a font's glyph set.Figma’s Unicode-based text engine only support characters mapped to your keyboard. As a result, many glyphs within fonts, such as unencoded alternates, swashes, ornaments, and stylistic variants, remain inaccessible. Ghost Glyphs bypasses the limitations of the native Type UI to show you every single glyph inside a font, and lets you input them as text into the canvas or any selected textbox. It treats the font as a vector library, allowing you to bring even the non-encoded glyphs into your canvas as smart, context-aware vectors.Key FeaturesReveals all glyphs: Browse every glyph in a font file, including unencoded alternates and stylistic sets that don't appear in Figma's native UI.Smart Vector Insertion: When you insert a "ghost" glyph, the plugin detects your active text selection and automatically scales the vector to match the font size and aligns it to the baseline.Input Versatility: Load fonts from your local machine, or pull them directly from external APIs and CSS `@font-face` endpoints.Focus on typography: Your font shows up every time you run the plugin across files. No re-uploads needed through your Figma session.Favoriting: Keep your most-used ornaments and swashes just a double-click away.Your font files stay yours. Ghost Glyphs does not store, copy, or transmit your font data. Everything is processed locally within your session.Best For- Logo Design & Branding- High-end Display Typography- Decorative Layouts- Font Auditing & Inspection
