If the font file is in a ZIP archive, right-click on the file and select “Extract All” to unzip its contents. This step is not necessary if the font file is already in a usable format (like .ttf or .otf).
Install the font: Once you have the font file ready, you can install it by following these steps:
Option 1: Right-click Install:
Right-click on the font file (with the .ttf or .otf extension).
Select “Install” from the context menu.
Option 2: Manual Installation:
Copy the font file to the Fonts folder on your computer. You can usually find this folder in C:\Windows\Fonts.
You can open the Fonts folder by pressing Win + R to open the Run dialogue, typing fonts, and hitting Enter. Then, paste the font file into this folder.
To make sure the font is installed, open a text editor or a word processing application and check if the newly installed font appears in the font list.
