A font is a collection of numbers, symbols, and letters that share the same style, sizing, and spacing. Here are answers to some common questions about fonts.
To install a new font on your PC, first you have to download it from a website, a network, or software.
Once the font is downloaded, press and hold or right-click the font you want to install, and then tap or click Install.
You can also install a font by dragging it into Fonts in Control Panel.
You can delete a font in Fonts in Control Panel.
Tap or click to open Fonts.
Tap or click the font you want to delete.
If you're using a mouse, you can select more than one font at a time by pressing and holding down the Ctrl key while you click each font.
On the toolbar, tap or click Delete.
Some of the fonts that came with Windows can't be deleted.
Multiple fonts can be stored in a single file called a font collection. If you delete a font that's part of a font collection, all of the fonts in that collection will be deleted from your PC.
You can go to the Microsoft typography website to find a list of font distributors. Some distributors give away their fonts for free, but most charge money.
You can't change the default font or font color used for items in Windows. But you can make all of the text (and other things like icons) on your screen larger, or you can change the text size for specific items without changing the size of anything else on the screen. To learn more, see Make the text on your screen larger or smaller.
You can also change the color of your window borders and taskbar, or use a High Contrast Theme to make the items on your screen easier to see. For more info, see Get started with themes.
