How To Install Fonts In Window

 

Have you ever noticed one main reason that makes your presentations all look the same boring is the font you use? That’s Calibri, the default font of Office and no one ever changes it! So why don’t add some pizzazz to your presentation just by using a more dynamic, professional and eye catching font and see the huge difference?

 

So how to use non-default fonts in Powerpoint ? Like what we always say when making delivery to our customers, ‘don’t forget to download and install all the fonts before opening the presentation’, first thing first, you need to download the font.

 

There are two ways we normally use to send fonts to our clients. If they’re Google fonts, we use links from Google Font directly. If not, we upload the fonts to Google Drive. Click here to see how to download from Google Drive link.

 

Google fonts are always our priority choice. Why?  Because it is a huge library for various beautiful fonts which provides you a plenty of choices. You will not have any trouble with licensing  since the typefaces of Google Fonts are free for commercial use. And your presentation will work perfectly in Google slide without any extra modification.  But if you don’t use Google fonts, no worries, those steps to do still apply exactly.

 

Step 01: Download the font

Let say we use Poppins from Google font. Click here to download the font: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Poppins?query=poppins

 

 

Click SELECT THIS FONT

Then it will appear a selected box.

 

 

Click on the arrow pointing down to download.

Now you already have Poppins downloaded to your Mac/PC. Double click to unzip and open the file you just download.

 

Step 02: Install the font

 

Find and open Font Book in your Applications.

 

 

Drag and drop the unziped folder of font you just downloaded to Font book. Then click install.

 

Or another way, you don’t have to find and open Font Book. Just open the folder containing the font you just download. Open all files which end with .ttf and click Install Font (make sure you install all fonts including light, regular, bold, black,…in the family font.

 

 

Step 03: Completely quit Powerpoint before opening the presentation.

This step may not be necessary in some devices but to make sure the font you just installed works perfectly, please close all of Powerpoint windows which are being opened.

 

Step 04: Reopen your presentation and enjoy its design to the fullest!
