2 Easy Ways to Install Fonts in Windows 11

While Windows 11 has gotten a major overhaul, that has not impacted the default fonts currently available. This can mean a sigh of relief to those who dislike too many changes. However, it can also mean a carryover of monotony for some who like to add a little twist to things. If you belong to the latter, here are 2 ways you can install fonts in Windows 11.

Do the fonts automatically get installed once they’re downloaded? Or are there other steps involved to install these fonts? In this article, we will address these questions and go one step further by giving step-by-step ways to install and download fonts in Windows 11 using third-party sites as well. Let’s get right into it.

Method 1: Add Fonts to Windows 11 Using Microsoft Store

While Windows 11 comes with its set of fonts, you can get more fonts straight from the Microsoft Store. This helps in making sure you’re downloading fonts from a secure source. To do this, simply open the Microsoft Store and install the required fonts.

Follow the below steps to do it.

Step 1: Right-click on your desktop.

Step 2: Then, click on Personalize.

Step 3: Once the Personalization page opens, scroll down and click on Fonts.

Step 4: Here, click on ‘Get more fonts in Microsoft Store’. This will launch the Microsoft Store in a separate window.

Note: You can also open the Microsoft Store using the Windows search bar. Simply type Microsoft Store in the search bar and click on the relevant search result.

Step 5: While some fonts are available, all search results might not be visible on this page. So, go to the Microsoft Store search bar and type Fonts. Then, press enter. This will open the fonts page.

Step 6: From this page, click on the font that you want to add to Windows.

Step 7: Then, click on Get.

Step 8: Once downloaded, click on Open.

This will open the Fonts window once again. You can also check out our other article to know how to use these downloaded fonts as your system default.

Note: You can use different third-party sites like Google Fonts, DaFont, Ttf Fonts, and SkyFonts to install fonts in Windows 11. For demonstration purposes, we will be using Google Fonts.
