I was designing a logo for a new company yesterday and needed to install some new fonts. I managed to find some fonts I liked but when installing the fonts, I experienced some errors. My font folder started to act like a regular folder and lost it’s install new font feature.

How to Install New Fonts

  • Download the new fonts and extract to your computer
  • Copy and paste the fonts to your C:\Windows\Fonts

After copying you will get a prompt asking you to install the new font. Click yes and you’re done.
