Some peculiarities

1. The plugin splits the text layer into many layers with one letter and groups them

2. The original layer remains

3. The preview doesn’t always show the result correctly:

Готовый изогнутый текст в Фигме — The finished curved text in Figma

Life hack

To make the text curved asymmetrically, add spaces at the beginning or at the end of the text layer.
