How to add new fonts (and manage existing ones) in Windows 10 By Ed Bott In previous Windows versions, managing fonts required a trip to Control Panel, and previewing fonts required opening each one individually. In Windows 10, most font management functions have been replaced by newer, friendlier options, available in Settings | Personalization | Fonts. The redesigned Fonts page displays every installed font family, with a search box to filter the list. A three-line preview shows what each fonts looks like, and a line beneath the preview displays how many font faces are available. Double-click a family icon to see detailed metadata as well as a preview box where you can enter your own text to see what each variant (Italic, Bold, Bold Italic, and so on) looks like. Use the slider to adjust the preview from 8 to 72 points in size. A box at the top of the Fonts page in Settings allows you to install fonts by dragging them from a File Explorer. But the most interesting option is a link that allows you to get new fonts (including a selection of free fronts) from the Microsoft Store. You can still open the old-style Fonts Control Panel, if necessary: Open the Run box (Windows key + R) and type the command shell:fonts.
