How to Install a Font in Windows 10?
How to Install a Font in Windows 10? You will say: ''This is a stupid question''.
I will too, ... but there is a little step in between that can cost you nerves.
I was installed tons of fonts. As a graphic designer, I always looking for nice and readable font, especially free fonts are welcome :) Installing fonts always been very simple.
For this example, I downloaded the font Yeseva One from the Font Squirrel site.
I clicked the download button and in the right corner of my browser appeared the icon of a zipped folder. I clicked on that icon and that immediately showed me content.
Then, as usual, I clicked on a small icon with letter A ( font icon ) to open the font file.
The next step was to click on the install button. That was the way the font installing which usually worked for me.
But not anymore. I went to the WPS Office program ( an alternative to MS Office ) looking for my font.
And the font wasn't there. Shock :)
After spending some time to solve the problem I find what is missing. It is not a big deal when you learned it, but the first time it cost me nerves.
Ok. Here is what you have to do if you will ever have this problem.

Ok. Here is what you have to do if you will ever have this problem.
- In the left lower corner of your screen, you have a little search icon.
- Click and type %windir%\fonts (or copy from here)
- That will rise up a new window and in the right menu click Open file location.
- In the files, open the menu of the Fonts folder. Keep this window open.
- At the same time open a folder where are your downloaded fonts.
- Extract the font file from the zipped folder.
- Copy ( or drag 'n' drop) the font file to the Windows fonts folder.
As you can see it is not a big deal once you figure out how.
I wrote this post for you as for me. Sometimes I need a little reminder of what I have to do next.
Hope this helps you!
