Do you get tired of the fonts available in Windows? Innovate and add new fonts to vary styles! A simple operation, especially since there are many free policies on the internet.
Helvetica, Times New Roman, Arial, Mail, Trebuchet, Verdana … The least we can say is that we quickly go around in circles with the fonts delivered as standard with Windows. If you want a little originality to write documents or invitation boxes, for example, the choice is quite limited with the 80 fonts installed by default. Fortunately, you are not confined to what the Microsoft system offers you. You can add as many fonts as you wish. You will just have to make sure to use font files in TTF (True Type Font) or OTF (Open Type Fact) formats which prove 100 % compatible with Windows. To find new fonts, you are spoiled for choice. The Microsoft Store already offers a nice palette, but you can also find it for free on the web with sites like 1001Freefonts,, Font,, 1001Fonts,, AWWWARDS,, Freefont and even Google.
Also be careful to verify that the accentuated characters specific to our language are well among the characters available in the font. Once the file has been downloaded, all you have to do is integrate it into Windows so that you can use it with any text editor. For this, two methods coexist.
