Download font files from trusted websites. Fonts are a common way of spreading viruses so use caution, only downloading fonts from trusted sources. Avoid fonts in EXE format. Fonts are usually in ZIP files, or TTF or OTF formats. Here are a few pages with many beautiful fonts:
- dafont.com
- fontspace.com
- fontsquirrel.com
- 1001freefonts.com

Extract the font file (if necessary). If it is a ZIP format, you need to extract it before installing and using it. To extract a ZIP file, right-click the file and select “Extract All”. Here’s how to create a new folder containing all the compressed files in a ZIP file.
- The files in the ZIP file are in TTF or OTF format. These are 2 font formats supported by Windows. Do not install any fonts with EXE format.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e9/Add-Font-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-3-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Add- Font-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-3-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e9/Add-Font-in-Microsoft- Word-Step-3-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Add-Font-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-3-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Open the folder containing the new font file. Find the folder containing the recently downloaded and unzipped file. To open that window.

Go to the Control Panel. You can install fonts through the Contrp Panel. There are several ways to open the Contrp Panel, depending on the version of Windows you are using:
- Windows 7, Vista, XP – Click on the Start menu and select “Contrp Panel”.
- Windows 10, 8.1 – Right click on the Start button and select “Contrp Panel”.
- Windows 8 – Press ⊞ Win + X key and select “Contrp Panel”.

Change icon display. If the Contrp Panel is sorted by Category, you need to change it to Small or Large Icons. This will make it easier to find the Fonts folder. Click the “View by” menu in the upper-right corner of the screen and choose one of the icon options.

Drag the font to the Fonts window. Drag the TTF or OTF file to the Fonts window to install the new font. You may have to enter an administrator password if you do not have administrator access. You can verify successful installation by looking in the font list in the Fonts window.
- Your font has more than 1 file. This is quite common when fonts come in different styles, such as bold and italic. Remember to drag the entire OTF or TTF file into the Fonts window.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/40/Add-Font-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-9-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Add- Font-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-9-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/40/Add-Font-in-Microsoft- Word-Step-9-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Add-Font-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-9-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Embed the font if you want to share the document. New font settings help documents display and print correctly on your computer. But if you share the document with others, they won’t be able to see the font unless they also install it. You can work around this problem by embedding the font file in the Word document. Once the font is embedded in the document, anyone who opens the document can see the correct font of your choice. The file size will increase because the document contains the font .

- Click the File menu in Word and select “Options”.
- Click the “Save” tab in the Options menu.
- Click on the option “Embed fonts in this file”. Remember to select the current document in the drop-down menu.
- Decide if you want to embed the characters you use separately. You can reduce the file size, especially if you only use a few characters from that special font.
- Save and share documents as usual. The font will be embedded automatically when saving the document.

Find the font you want to install. There are tons of websites hosting fonts that you can download for free (for personal use). OS X supports both OTF and TTF formats, the two most common font formats. Many fonts are compressed in a ZIP file. Here are some pages with lots of nice fonts:
- dafont.com
- fontspace.com
- fontsquirrel.com
- 1001freefonts.com

Unzip the font file (if compressed in a ZIP file). Some fonts are compressed in a ZIP file, especially those with multiple versions. Double click on the ZIP file to open it and drag the font inside to the desktop or to another folder.

Create PDF files if need to embed fonts. Word on Mac does not allow you to embed fonts in Word documents like the Windows version. If you need to share a document with others and want to keep the special font you just added, you need to save the document as a PDF. So other people can’t edit your document and also keep the custom fonts.
- In the Save As menu, choose to save the file as a PDF.
Advice
- After successfully installing the font, the font will appear in all Microsoft Office programs.
