- Follow the prompts to complete the installation.
Method 2: Install fonts from a font folder
- Create a new folder on your computer, such as "C:\Fonts" (or any other location you prefer).

Method 3: Install fonts from a font package (.zip or.rar)

Verify font installation

- Open a text editor or word processing application (e.g., Notepad, Microsoft Word) to verify that the new font is available for use.
Tips and considerations
- Make sure the font files are in a format that Windows 10 supports (e.g.,.ttf or.otf).
- If you're installing fonts for all users on the computer, you may need to run the installation process as an administrator.
- Some fonts may require additional software or drivers to function properly.
- If you're experiencing issues with font installation or usage, try restarting your computer or checking for updates to your graphics drivers.
