How to install a new font on a PC? Users and designers face this question very often. Rest assured, there is nothing tricky in this process! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article provides a step-by-step guide to help you understand how to install downloaded fonts correctly on Windows and iOS-powered computers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to install a font file: Important details<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Users often ask how to add new fonts to a program. However, font files are installed into the operational system rather than a separate, individual service. So, it\u2019s enough to download a font file, and the installed font will appear in the necessary program, whether it\u2019s Adobe Photoshop, Corel Draw, Figma, Microsoft Word, or any other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another crucial nuance is the font file\u2019s format. Font files are most often distributed in the ttf (TrueType) or otf (OpenType) formats because they are the best-suited for MS (Microsoft) software. Fonts with any other extensions can be formatted using an online converter tool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can purchase and download commercial fonts on\u00a0multi-brand platforms like MyFonts<\/a>. There, you will find fonts made by\u00a0various studios, including TypeType. Apart from that, in\u00a0most cases, you can purchase fonts directly on\u00a0the website of\u00a0the studio that released\u00a0it. To\u00a0download free fonts on\u00a0your computer, you can use special resources like Google Fonts<\/a>. On\u00a0our website, you can download different options from the free font collection and also trial versions of\u00a0our commercial typefaces to\u00a0test them in\u00a0your project before purchasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, to use fonts, you need a license\u2014this applies to both commercial and free typefaces. To make your user experience positive, please read licensing agreements carefully. Learn more about font licensing in our article<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to install fonts on Windows PC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The following method works for all versions of Windows, including Windows 10. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Download the font from the chosen resource. The downloaded font is just a regular file. If you\u2019re unsure where it was downloaded, you can easily find it in the \u00abDownloads\u00bb folder. If the files are saved as a zip archive, you will have to unpack them before installing;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    2. Move the font file into the C:\\Windows\\Fonts folder (or use copy-paste to do so). After moving the file, it will be automatically installed, and you will be able to use it in any program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        After installation, the font will automatically become available in all programs. If you still don\u2019t see it, restart your computer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
