- Once the font is installed, restart Word to ensure the font is available.
Tips:

- If you're using a Mac, you can also install fonts by dragging the font file to the "Fonts" folder in your "Library" folder (usually located at
~/Library/Fonts
). - If you're using a PC, you can also install fonts by copying the font file to the "Fonts" folder in your "C:\Windows\Fonts" directory.
- If you're having trouble installing a font, try restarting your computer or checking the font installation instructions again.
