Need up to 30 seconds to load.
if you're not satisfied with the fonts
preloaded with windows 10 and would like
a better variety to choose from i'll
show you how to download and install new
fonts onto your pc this might come in
handy for use with one of your office
products or if you do graphic design to
spice things up it's fairly easy to do
so let's get to it
there's a ton of websites to download
fonts online both free and paid of the
free sites two of our favorites include
the font which has a good variety of
unique fonts you won't find elsewhere
and the other free site we recommend is
google fonts which also has a great
selection to choose from all of which
are completely free for both
non-commercial and commercial use
to download any font from any site just
look for a download button and click on
it
when the pop-up opens make sure that
save file is selected then click ok
choose where you want that file saved to
and then click save
i'll now show you three different ways
to install fonts onto your computer
first of which is by using the
right-click context menu
depending on where you downloaded your
font from you may notice it's in a zip
folder to unpack it right click the
folder and select extract all
choose the location for those files i'll
just leave these in the downloads folder
and click extract
now head on over to that folder with the
unzip files
look for any files with the true type or
opentype format truetype is dot ttf and
opentype is dot otf
right click on the file and you'll see
you have two choices
if you select install it'll install it
for your account only or if you have
administrator access you could select
install for all users this will make
that font available for everyone that
uses your computer
for this one i'll select install
it should only take a couple seconds for
that font to install to your computer
and then you're done
the second of three ways i'll be showing
you involves using the settings app
this method wasn't available until 2018
and it's quite easy as well
to do this quickly go to the search box
and type the word font
select font settings
in this window you can see all the fonts
that you have installed on your computer
here at the top in the add font section
you can easily drag and drop into the
window to install
so let's bring up the folder with the
new font
select it left click and drag that fonts
file to the settings window and go to
the box that says drag and drop to
install when you see the word copy
appear on the screen let go of the file
and your font will now be installed
so let's go into that window and here it
is it's called alpha slab one
did you find that you have too many
fonts installed or just want to get rid
of the ones that you no longer use it
can be uninstalled from here as well
in the available fonts section click on
the font that you no longer need
in this window just click on uninstall
in the pop-up window click on uninstall
again
and now it's gone
if you prefer the old school methods
i'll now show you how to add fonts using
the control panel
this one will still work if you still
use windows 7 or 8.
in the search box in the lower left type
control panel
select it
we're looking at the same window go to
the upper right and in view by select
large icons
click on fonts
let's bring back the file explorer
window
you'll notice this font includes many
variations
to add more than one thought at a time
left click the first file here at the
top hold down the shift key and click
the last file in the list
with those files highlighted left click
and drag those files to the control
panel
just like with the settings app let go
when you see the word copy
and of course with more files it takes a
little bit longer
to quickly find any font that you've
installed go to the search box in the
top upper right and start typing the
name of that font
and here's the font we just installed
to uninstall any font that you no longer
need from the control panel left click
on the font and from the menu bar here
at the top click delete or you can just
simply right click that font and select
delete
then select yes to confirm and that's it
and now it's gone
