This page is part of digital queen guide, an introductory font manual that explains the basics of installing fonts on Windows and how t use them in different applications and more.
How To Install Fonts on Windows
To install the font follow these simple steps:
- Unpack the zip folder that you downloaded.
- Go to the folder with the fonts and search for the .OTF or .TTF file (we recommend you always install the OTF file if available).
- Double-click on the font as if you are opening an application.
- Now the font installation window will open.
- Click Install and wait till it’s done.
- That’s it! You have now installed a font.
If you want to use the font in an application, make sure you close the application completely and restart it after installing a new font. The font will not be visible otherwise, even though it installed correctly.

If for some reason the method described above doesn’t work, you can try this:

- That’s it! You have now installed a font.
- Make sure to restart your application.
