Install fonts on Windows 7

You can install new fonts in Windows 7 with little effort. This is useful because Windows has a limited choice of fonts by default.

Install a font in Windows 7

To install a single new font:

1. Download the desired font, for example from the CHIP download section.
2. Open the font you want to install by double-clicking it.
3. Click on "Install".

Install multiple fonts

If you want to install several fonts at once, a different approach is available:

1. Select all the fonts you want to install.
2. Move the fonts to "C: \ Windows \ Fonts".
3. Then you have to install the font. Mark the font files you want to install and click on the right. Now click on install.
4. Now you can use the new fonts in Word, for example.
