figma weave generating gibberish text fix

When Figma Weave outputs corrupted text string blocks, strange symbol sequences, or non-sensical placeholder language, it indicates character encoding conflicts or natural language generation processing timeouts. Figma Weave Support provides independent community assistance and is not affiliated with Figma, Inc. Here is how to fix garbled text generation issues.

Quick checks

• Verify input language: Ensure your initial prompt uses standard UTF-8 text strings without broken special characters.
• Check local font availability: Confirm that default canvas fonts like Inter or Roboto are installed and accessible on your system.
• Review credit and token status: Token limits mid-stream can cause text streams to terminate or corrupt mid-word.

Step-by-step troubleshooting

1. Define language parameters in your prompt

Instruct the model specifically regarding target language copy. Specify rules such as "use realistic English copy for buttons and headings, avoid lorem ipsum or placeholder symbols" to steer character generation toward valid words.

1. Reset missing default font mappings

When Weave generates text blocks using missing custom fonts, rendering drivers may convert characters into garbled squares or unreadable symbols. Change your file default font settings back to standard web-safe fonts like Inter before running the prompt.

1. Check account billing and generation limits

Garbled output can occur when account execution limits interrupt AI text stream completion. Verify your subscription status, word limits, and payment processing through /fix/figma-weave-billing-error to rule out account account restrictions.

1. Clear workspace cache and restart generation

If corrupted characters continue appearing in simple text layers, force-close Figma and launch a new file tab. If the generator continuously stalls or outputs corrupt content blocks, refer to /fix/figma-weave-not-generating for general engine troubleshooting.

Still stuck?

If text output remains corrupted across multiple files, test the exact same prompt using a guest or browser session to determine if a local font renderer or browser plugin is interfering with string encoding.
