In the Fonts window, click on “File” and select “Install New Font.”
Step 3: Select the Font File
In the Add Fonts Dialog Box, click on the drop-down menu under “Drives” and select the drive where you saved the font file in step 1.
Next, navigate to the folder where you saved the font file, select the font you want to install and click on the “Install” button.
Step 4: Confirm Installation
You will see a summary of the fonts you have installed in the “List of Fonts.” You may need to confirm the installation of some font files, where prompted, to complete the process.
Step 5: Use your New Font
Once the installation is complete, your new font will now be available in all of your applications that use fonts, including Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. You can access your newly installed font just like any other font on your computer.
In conclusion, installing fonts on Windows 10 is a simple process that will allow you to play around with typography and improve the aesthetic of your design or document. By following the steps listed above, you will be able to quickly and easily install fonts on your computer.
