Figma does not send requests to font-helper anymore

Apparently figma sometimes in the last days stopped sending requests to 127.0.0.01:44950 when the user agent tells it that it's running on linux. I created a post in the forum with more details: https://forum.figma.com/t/requests-to-font-helper-on-linux-stopped-working/61389
I guess a workaround is to overwrite the user agent…

thanks for the information.

I added this Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/120.0.0.0 Safari/537.3 useragent via User Agent Switcher and Manager
and changed port to 44950 and it works again.
But not as good as before.
Fonts are found but not automatically applied:
I get errors:

For me using google-chrome --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/120.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"
As well as using https://github.com/neetly/figma-agent-linux instead of the this font-helper. I hope this helps and I hope even more that figma gets themselves in order and appreciate their linux users.

I'm using https://github.com/Figma-Linux/figma-linux-font-helper
it works fine (systemd service). But not sure about variable fonts.
