How to Install Fonts

Installing Fonts on Windows

Extract the files you have downloaded.

Click on the "Download" button, save the zip file, locate it, double-click to open, and either click "Extract all files" or drag and drop them elsewhere (hold CTRL to select multiple files). For older Windows versions, you may need an unzip tool first.

Windows 10/8/7/Vista

Select the font files (.ttf, .otf, or .fon), then Right-click > Install.

Any Windows Version

Copy the font files (.ttf, .otf, or .fon) to C:\Windows\Fonts or C:\WINNT\Fonts. Alternatively, use Control Panel > Appearance and Themes > Fonts.

Windows' built-in unzip tool does not allow direct installation from a ZIP file. First, extract the files, then install them.

Installing Fonts on Mac OS

Mac OS X supports TrueType (.ttf) and OpenType (.otf) fonts.

Mac OS X 10.3 and Above

Double-click the font file, then click the "Install Font" button.

Any Mac OS X Version

Place font files into /Library/Fonts (for all users) or /Users/Your_Username/Library/Fonts (for your account only).

Mac OS 9 or Earlier

Convert the downloaded font files and place them in the System folder. The system will prompt you to add them to the Fonts folder.

Installing Fonts on Linux

Copy font files (.ttf or .otf) to fonts:// in the File Manager.

Alternatively, navigate to /home, enable "Show Hidden Files," find or create a .fonts folder, and copy font files there.

Some Linux versions (e.g., Ubuntu) allow double-clicking the font file and selecting "Install Font."

Using Fonts in Software

Restart your application after installing a font for it to appear in the font selection dropdown.

Using Fonts on a Website

If a font is not installed on a visitor’s computer, the browser will use a fallback font.

Specify multiple fonts in CSS for better compatibility:

font-family: "CustomFont", Arial, sans-serif;
