This tutorial will show you how to install fonts for your account or all users in Windows 11.

A font is a graphical representation of text that may include a different typeface, point size, weight, color, or design.

Windows comes with a variety of fonts, and you can download others from the Microsoft Store, a website (ex: Google Fonts), or other online source.

Make sure any downloaded font file is a True Type (.ttf) or OpenType (.otf) file to be used with Windows.
