Managing fonts in Windows is a relatively straightforward process once you know where to find what you’re looking for, here you will learn how to Install and manage Fonts. What we’re looking for, in this case, is a built-in font management system hiding in the Windows Control panel.
Knowing the top fonts in use today and when and where to use them can give your printing company a competitive edge. More and more brands are becoming font conscious when designing their campaigns. Being able to provide your input on typeface selection early in the sales cycle can land you quality customers for the long run.
Here’s how you find, add, and remove fonts in Windows.
- Open the Windows Control Panel.
- Select Fonts
- At the bottom, select Fonts.
From here, you can view any font installed on your system, as well as add new ones or remove those you don’t need anymore. When removing fonts, I’d recommend extreme caution, as many are considered System Fonts, meaning Windows uses them within certain programs.
- To add a font, simply drag the font file into the font window.
- To remove fonts, just right click the chosen font and select Delete.
- Click Yes when prompted.
