The fonts installed in Windows are usually sufficient to work with most applications. But in some cases, programs require this or that font, which is not in the system, or the user himself needs it. In this case, you need to find the missing font and install it.
Instructions
Step 1
The need to install additional fonts usually arises when working with programs that use non-standard characters - for example, astrological. Sometimes additional fonts are needed when working with graphics in Corel or Photoshop. If the system does not have the required font, Windows usually tries to find the most suitable replacement for it, but sometimes it turns out to be impossible. The only way left is to install the required fonts.
Step 2
Font files have the *. TTF extension. Download the required fonts, then open the Windows folder. Find the Fonts directory in it, open it and copy the downloaded fonts into it. The installation procedure is complete.
Step 3
You can install fonts in another way: open Control Panel: "Start" - "Control Panel", find the "Fonts" tab and open it. Click on the "File" - "Install Font" menu. Select the folder with the fonts to be installed, select the desired font and click OK. The font will be installed.
Step 4
In order to view the style of a font, it must be opened in the Windows operating system. Going through all the fonts to find the best one can be quite tedious. There are special utilities that make this work much easier. When using them, you will see the style of all fonts at once, which will allow you to quickly select the one you need.
Step 5
The free Fast Font Preview utility is a good example of this kind of program. Using it, you can immediately select the font and background color, which is very convenient when working with graphics.
Step 6
Another handy font utility is The Font Thing. It allows not only viewing them, but also installing and uninstalling them. With its help, you can easily find the font you need.
Step 7
Unlike previous programs, Protaxis BestFonts has a Russian interface, which makes it very easy to work with. The program is easy to use and has many useful functions.
