I'm manually searching for elements with missing fonts — and it's taking hours. We really need a way to pick specific font/weight replacements for the missing fonts we're warned about.
Where am I?
In UXPin you can ask and answer questions and share your experience with others!
We need this not only for fonts but all the properties. I even suggested them treating colors as variables. Let's say if I'm defining "primary color" as #121212 and I've filled objects with "primary color". Now, if I update my "primary color" with #333333 then all the objects (whether they're part of components or not) will be updated with latest primary color. This helps a lot since we work in page-view and not whiteboard view (currently there's so much back and forth between the pages which adds server cost to them as well!). This can also help a lot during the style-guide and handoffs! @Chris Stryjewski What's your view on this?
PS, They recently removed the favourite colors recently which is making the work harder than ever. I'm still not getting their rationale except the force usage of "DS". Apart from that, I don't think it was a great cost to product in terms of maintenance.
Hey guys,
first of all – thank you for the feedback. I feel you – I get the concept of using colors as swatches and being able to do global replacements for both text styles and colors would be just AMAZING to have.
I know the two of you are really great examples of UXPin power users so there is probably no sense for me to try coming up with any workarounds.

Oh gawd... 2 prototpyes I've spent weeks on, and just entered de-bugging on... I now have to manually go through ALL OVER AGAIN to replace Every. Single. Font. With. App menus, for an OS. So, a zillion little objects, each with an on, off, and hover state.
It's just easier for me to design w/o thinking, in Sketch. So begin my UXPin prototypes, from imported Sketch files. Which automatically map all my fonts to local versions. So, even though the fonts are managed by Google, I have to—oh, this is awful.
I deeply, deeply, deeply wish there could be "Find And Replace" like Adobe has. Reading the above, I also wish the same could exist for colors.
Because of COVID, all my user research is remote and I need my users to be able to see and understand prototypes on their Linux machines. Which don't "do" typography. Mama mia, please get us this feature. :((
