Fonts are “letters” found in word processing programs and other types of software. There are several types of font families and literally thousands of fonts, both commercial and free. Free fonts are fun. You can download them into your word processor or art program, install them and use them as you wish.
For those who already know a lot about fonts, you probably don’t need to read this. For those of you who are just starting out and want to know a little more about fonts, we will first show you how to change the default font in Word. Why do you need to change it? Because the default font in Word is boring. In Microsoft Word 2007 and later versions, the default font is Calibri, 11 pt. From Word 6.0 (1993) to Word 2007, it was Times New Roman. 12 pt. These two fonts are very functional, but there are so many more choices, why stick to the default font?
It’s easy to change the default font in Word. In fact, you can set the font for Word documents by clicking on the styles and setting the specific font for each style, which means that you can have multiple fonts as the default font for your document. To do so, click one of the styles on the menu. For example, click on the “Normal” style and select “Change”. This will open the Normal style and give you all possible options. You can find the font under Formatting. Select the font you want to use, which will be your default font for the Normal style. This is the easiest way to change the default font in the latest versions of Word. Older versions were slightly different.

How To Download Custom Fonts From Web
The font collection in the Microsoft Store is dark compared to what you can get on the Internet. The Internet is full of fonts customized for your style and needs.

- Select the Install button, and the fonts will be installed in no time. Users don’t need to restart or update a program to make them available.
