7 Deleting fonts you no longer need
It is possible that you will get a little carried away and end
up with far more fonts than you need – or you may just decide
that certain fonts are not needed any more. In the Fonts section
of Settings, you can simply click a font you want to get rid of and
then click the Uninstall button. In the Fonts Control Panel, you
can right-click a font and select the Delete option.
8 Restoring font defaults
When you are deleting fonts, it is possible to get a little
carried away and delete fonts that may be needed by Windows
itself. Thankfully, Windows 10 includes a quick and easy way to
restore the defaultfonts.In the Fonts Control Panel, click the
Font Setting link totheleft and then click the Restore default
font settings option.QQ5
Installing fonts using drag and drop
If you have two or more fonts to install, you may not want to
navigate the context menu multiple times. Another installation
option is to simply drag and drop them into the Fonts section of
Settings. At the top of this section you will find the “drop zone’
box; simply select all of the fonts you have downloaded, and drag
them to this area before releasing the mouse button.
3 Finding fonts from other websites
There are countless websites where you can download free
fonts and buy paid-for ones. Some good websites to try include
http://www.fontsquirrel.com, http://www.1001freefonts.com and http://www.dafont.
com. In almost all cases you will find that when you download a
font, it is provided in compressed zip files which you will need to
decompress before you can use them.

Installing fonts via the Control Panel
Another option for installing fonts is something users of
older versions of Windows may remember. Open the Control
Panel by opening the Start menu, typing Control Panel and
clicking the link when it is displayed, then open Fonts – or click
Appearance and Personalization followed by Fonts, depending on
the view you are using.4 Installing non-Store fonts
You can extract a zip file’s contents by right-clicking it and
selecting the Extract All option from the context menu. You
should then find that you have a font file ready to work with.
Right click this file and select either Install or Install for all users.
Seconds later the font will be ready, although there will be no
confirmation that the installation has successfully completed.Explore
