Typography makes your text or website unique and allows you to express your creativity and style. So why don’t you just limit yourself to the typefaces that come pre-installed on your computer? Make your work unique by downloading and installing fonts that suit you and your personality. Read on to learn how to install fonts on a Windows or Mac computer.
Steps
Setting Fonts on Windows 7 and 8 Operating Systems
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/d5/Install-Fonts-Step-1-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Install-Fonts-Step-1- Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/d5/Install-Fonts-Step-1-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Install- Fonts-Step-1-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:348,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:550,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Find typefaces. You can find free or paid typefaces on many websites online. There are many websites that offer free and open source fonts that do not require registration or installation of any additional programs. Some popular websites are dafont, Google Fonts, Font Squirrel, 1001 Fonts, and fonts.com.

Download the font of your choice. Make sure you download fonts from reputable sites, as font files are usually virus files. Most typefaces are usually downloaded as ZIP archives. Save files where they’re easy to find, like right on your desktop.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/8/88/Install-Fonts-Step-3-Version-5.jpg/v4-728px-Install-Fonts-Step-3- Version-5.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/88/Install-Fonts-Step-3-Version-5.jpg/v4-728px-Install- Fonts-Step-3-Version-5.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:344,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:545,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Extract the font file. The ZIP archive must have a typeface that can be installed on the computer. Common file formats are .ttf, .ttc, and .otf.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/94/Install-Fonts-Step-4-Version-5.jpg/v4-728px-Install-Fonts-Step-4- Version-5.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/94/Install-Fonts-Step-4-Version-5.jpg/v4-728px-Install- Fonts-Step-4-Version-5.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:346,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:547,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Open C drive at address C: WindowsFonts . Using the Windows Explorer window, navigate to the Fonts folder in the Windows folder on the hard drive. You will see a list of font files you have installed.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/a7/Install-Fonts-Step-5-Version-5.jpg/v4-728px-Install-Fonts-Step-5- Version-5.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/a7/Install-Fonts-Step-5-Version-5.jpg/v4-728px-Install- Fonts-Step-5-Version-5.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:342,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:542,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Drag the new typeface file into the Fonts folder. Drag and drop the font file into the Font folder, the font will automatically install for you. You can immediately use that font for the next use. [1] X Research Source
- You can also install the font by double-clicking the font file. The font installation will do it automatically for you.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/6b/Install-Fonts-Step-17-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Install-Fonts-Step-17- Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/6b/Install-Fonts-Step-17-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Install- Fonts-Step-17-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:342,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:542,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Find your favorite typeface from a reputable source. The file extension will be more or less the same as the file on the Windows operating system if you install the font in TrueType (.ttf) or OpenType (.otf) format. Unzip the fonts if they are compressed files.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e7/Install-Fonts-Step-18-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Install-Fonts-Step-18- Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e7/Install-Fonts-Step-18-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Install- Fonts-Step-18-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:347,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:549,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Backup to /usr/share/fonts/truetype. Use a file manager (usually Nautilus) with elevated priority to do so, otherwise you won’t be able to back up due to file/directory permissions.
- Instead, if you’re familiar with Terminal, you can use sudo cp <path to fonts> /usr/share/fonts/truetype (where <path to fonts> is the specific path to the typeface), or if you backup all fonts in the directory cd to that directory, using sudo cp * /usr/share/fonts/truetype
