注意：(NOTE:)本文适用于Windows 11和Windows 10。屏幕截图来自Windows 11，但下面描述的方法对两种操作系统的工作方式相同。如果您想知道您的计算机上的Windows版本，这里有一篇关于该主题的文章：如何分辨我有什么Windows（11 种方式）。
如何查看计算机上的字体
首先(First)要做的事：让我们学习如何查看Windows 计算机(Windows computer)上可用的字体。要查找已安装的字体，您需要打开“设置”(Settings)应用程序，一种快速的方法是按键盘上的Win + I然后，在设置(Settings)窗口中，选择个性化(Personalization)。在Windows 11中，此设置位于左侧窗格(left pane)中，而在Windows 10中，它位于“(Windows 10)设置”(Settings )窗口的主要部分。
导航(Navigate)到设置中的(Settings)个性(Personalization)化
接下来，选择字体(Fonts)。在 Windows 11 中，字体(Fonts )按钮位于窗口的主要部分，而在Windows 10中，它位于左窗格中。
在设置中选择字体以查看可用字体列表
在这两种操作系统中，此操作都会显示可用字体的列表。现在，让我们解释一下您可以在“字体(Fonts)”窗口中做什么。
如何在Windows 10和 Windows 11中查看字体（系列）的详细信息
如果您想查看特定字体或字体系列的详细信息，请单击或点击(click or tap)其名称。
单击(Click)或点击字体系列以查看有关它的详细信息
提示：(TIP: )您也可以使用顶部的搜索框(search box)输入要查看的字体名称，然后单击/点击相应的搜索结果(search result)。
当您单击或点击字体系列时，Windows会向您显示使用该字体系列字体的文本示例。此外，您还可以在顶部的框中输入自己的文本，以查看使用所选字体时的外观。移动输入字段(input field)下方的滑块将更改字体的大小。
输入文本以预览字体
对于每个安装的字体和字体系列，您可以查看预览部分(preview section)下的元数据(Metadata)。但是，对于字体系列，您需要首先选择您感兴趣的字体以查看其Metadata。在这种情况下，您选择的字体上的信息会更新，因为元数据在一个系列中的字体之间可能会有所不同。
(Font)Windows 11设置中的字体详细信息
然后还有特殊的“可变字体”，它可以具有可以调整的其他属性，例如可修改的粗细或宽度(weight or width)。如果您选择这样的字体，“设置”(Settings)应用程序还会为您提供一个名为“可变字体属性”的链接。(“Variable font properties.”)单击或点击它会打开一个新页面，您可以在其中查看有关该字体的其他详细信息。
打开可变字体的属性
在第一个菜单 -字体实例(Font instances)- 您可以选择该字体（系列）的设计变体。(design variation )然后，您可以选择变化轴，这是一种命名字体可能具有的不同属性的奇特方式。在此列表中，您可以找到并选择weight 和 width(weight and width)等属性。
Windows 11中的可变字体属性
在可变字体属性(Variable font properties)页面的底部，您可以使用自己的文本预览选定的字体(font face)，就像在字体或字体系列的标准页面上一样。
如何在 Windows 中安装字体
在Windows 10(Windows 10)和Windows 11中有多种安装字体的方法。您安装的字体将在您编写和编辑文本的每个应用程序的整个操作系统(operating system)中可用。事不宜迟，以下是在您的计算机上安装字体的方法：
1. 如何从Microsoft Store安装字体(Microsoft Store)
在Windows(Windows)中安装字体的最简单方法之一是通过Microsoft Store。从设置(Settings)应用程序中打开字体部分，就像我们在本文前面向您展示的那样：导航到Settings > Personalization > Fonts。在页面顶部，您会找到一个链接，上面写着“在 Microsoft Store 中获取更多字体”。(“Get more fonts in Microsoft Store.”)单击或点击它。
从Microsoft Store下载并安装字体(Microsoft Store)
按照上述链接打开Microsoft Store并将您带到其字体(Fonts)部分。在那里，您可以浏览并查看可用的字体。找到要下载和安装的字体后，单击或点击它。
Microsoft Store中的字体(Fonts)部分
检查字体的详细信息，如果您决定需要它，请单击或点击窗口右上角的“获取”按钮。(Get)
从Microsoft Store在(Microsoft Store)Windows中安装字体
注意：(NOTE:)如果您要安装的字体是付费字体，您需要先购买它才能下载。
安装完成后，Get按钮变为Open按钮。按下它会将您从“设置”(Settings)应用程序返回到“字体(Fonts)”页面，您可以在其中找到 PC 上可用字体中列出的新字体。
(Font page)Microsoft Store中已安装字体的字体页面
2.如何使用设置应用安装下载的字体(Settings app)
如果您已经下载了一种字体并且想要将其安装在您的 PC 上，您可以通过几种不同的方式进行安装。最简单的方法是打开设置(Settings)应用程序，导航到字体(Fonts)页面（Settings > Personalization > Fonts），然后将字体文件(font file)拖放到顶部的“拖放安装”部分。(“Drag and drop to install”)
将字体文件拖放(Drag)到字体页面以进行安装
3.如何使用文件资源管理器安装字体(File Explorer)
您还可以使用文件资源管理器(File Explorer)安装下载的字体。首先(First)，导航到您拥有字体文件(font file)的位置，然后右键单击它。选择“(Select “)显示更多选项(Show more options)”以访问旧的右键菜单。
访问Windows 11(Windows 11)中的经典右键菜单
在经典的右键菜单中，单击或(click or tap)点击(Install)安装。
如何从右键菜单安装字体
在Windows 10中，默认显示经典的右键菜单，因此您只需右键单击字体，然后单击或点击安装(Install)。
4.如何为所有用户安装字体
如果您想为所有用户安装字体，前一种方法也是您应该使用的方法。只需按照相同的步骤使用文件资源管理器(File Explorer)导航到字体文件(font file)并右键单击它。但是，在上下文菜单(context menu)中，选择“为所有用户安装”(“Install for all users”)而不是简单的安装(Install)。这里唯一的要求是您需要具有管理权限才能为Windows 计算机(Windows computer)上的所有用户安装字体。
如何从右键菜单中为所有用户安装字体
5.如何从字体预览窗口安装字体(font preview window)
另一种安装下载字体的简单方法是从它的预览窗口(preview window)。双击或双击其文件，Windows将启动一个预览窗口(preview window)，在其中显示该字体的外观。此外，它还在顶部为您提供了两个按钮：打印(Print)和安装(Install)。显然，要从这里在Windows(Windows)中安装字体，您必须按下安装(Install)按钮。
从字体预览窗口(font preview window)在Windows中安装字体(Windows)
6.如何从控制面板安装字体(Control Panel)
如果您是比较保守的用户，旧版控制面板提供了另一种在(Control Panel)Windows中安装和管理字体的方法。打开控制面板(Control Panel)并导航到“Appearance and Personalization > Fonts.”然后，只需将要安装的字体拖放到控制面板(Control Panel)中显示的字体列表中即可。
如何使用控制面板在(Control Panel)Windows 10和 Windows 11中安装字体
注意：(NOTE:)有关如何使用控制面板的(Control Panel)字体(Fonts)部分管理Windows PC上的字体的更多详细信息，我们建议您阅读如何在Windows 7和Windows 8.1中查看、安装和删除字体。虽然我们为Windows 7和Windows 8.1编写了它，但控制面板在(Control Panel)Windows 10和Windows 11中没有改变，因此它也适用于该操作系统(operating system)。
Windows中的字体文件夹在哪里？
好的，您已经在计算机上安装了一种或多种字体。现在，您可能想知道所有字体在您的 PC 上的位置。那么， Windows(Windows)中的字体文件夹在哪里？好吧(Well)，这取决于：
Windows中存储系统字体和为计算机的所有用户安装的所有字体的默认字体文件夹是
您可以导航到此文件夹，也可以直接在地址栏中(Address bar)插入路径。
Windows 10和Windows 11中字体文件夹的位置（所有用户）
但您可能也仅为您自己安装了字体 - 仅适用于您的用户帐户(user account)。除非您遵循我们向您展示的“为所有用户安装字体”方法，否则您使用其他方法安装的字体会进入您当前用户的配置文件中的一个特殊文件夹，该文件夹对您计算机的其他用户不可用。您可以在以下位置找到此文件夹：
如何在 Windows 中卸载字体
从Windows(Windows)卸载字体的最佳和最简单的方法是通过“设置”(Settings)应用程序。打开它并进入字体管理部分(management section)，就像我们在本指南开头向您展示的那样：导航至“Settings > Personalization > Fonts”。确定(Identify)要卸载的字体（系列），然后单击或点击它。如果您选择了一个字体系列（其中捆绑了多种字体），请从下拉菜单中选择您要卸载的字体系列。然后，单击或点击卸载(Uninstall)按钮。
在 Windows 11 中卸载字体
确认卸载操作，字体被删除。
确认卸载Windows 11中的字体(Windows 11)
而已！

How to view and install fonts in Windows 11 and Windows 10
Windows has more than just a few preinstalled fonts. However, at some рoint, yоu might want more. What if you find a beаutiful font online and want it on your computer? How do you install free fonts in Windоws 11 and Windows 10? Moreover, how dо yoυ see what fonts are on your computer? These are a few of the questions we’re going to answer in this tutorіal. So, if you want to know how to view your fonts and hоw to install new fonts in Windows using several methods, read оn:
NOTE: This article applies to Windows 11 and Windows 10. The screenshots are from Windows 11, but the methods described below work the same for both operating systems. If you want to know what version of Windows you have on your computer, here is an article on the subject: How to tell what Windows I have (11 ways).
How to see what fonts are on your computer
First things first: let’s learn how to see the fonts available on your Windows computer. To find your installed fonts, you need to open the Settings app, and a quick way to do that is to press Win + I on your keyboard. Then, in the Settings window, select Personalization. In Windows 11, this setting is in the left pane, while in Windows 10 it’s in the main part of the Settings window.
Navigate to Personalization in Settings
Next, select Fonts. In Windows 11, the Fonts button is in the main section of the window, while in Windows 10, it’s in the left pane.
Select Fonts in Settings to see the list of Available fonts
In both operating systems, this action displays a list of available fonts. Now, let’s explain what you can do in the Fonts window.
How to see the details of a font (family) in Windows 10 and Windows 11
If you want to see the details of a particular font or font family, click or tap on its name.
Click or tap on a font family to see details about it
TIP: You can also use the search box at the top to type the name of the font that you want to view, and then click/tap on the appropriate search result.
When you click or tap on a font family, Windows shows you examples of text using the fonts of that font family. Furthermore, you can also enter your own text in the box at the top to see what it looks like when using the selected font(s). Moving the slider below the input field will change the size of the font.
Enter a text to preview the fonts
For every installed font and font family, you can check the Metadata under the preview section. However, for font families, you need first to select the font face that interests you to see its Metadata. In this case, the information updates on the font face you choose, as the metadata can differ between font faces within a family.

Then there are also the special “variable fonts,” which can have additional properties that you can adjust, like modifiable weight or width. If you select such a font, the Settings app will also give you a link called “Variable font properties.” Clicking or tapping on it opens a new page, where you can see additional details about that font.
Opening the properties of a variable font
In the first menu - Font instances - you can select a design variation of that font (family). Then, you can choose the axis of variation, which is a fancy way of naming the different properties that a font can have. On this list, you can find and select properties such as weight and width.
Variable font properties in Windows 11
At the bottom of the Variable font properties page, you can preview the selected font face using your own text, just like on a font or font family’s standard page.
How to install fonts in Windows
There are several ways to install fonts in Windows 10 and Windows 11. The fonts you install will be available throughout the operating system in every app where you write and edit text. Without further ado, here’s how to install fonts on your computer:
1. How to install fonts from the Microsoft Store
One of the easiest ways to install a font in Windows is via the Microsoft Store. Open the font section from the Settings app like we’ve shown you earlier in this article: navigate to Settings > Personalization > Fonts. At the top of the page, you will find a link that says “Get more fonts in Microsoft Store.” Click or tap on it.
Download and install fonts from the Microsoft Store
Following the aforementioned link opens the Microsoft Store and takes you to its Fonts section. There, you can browse and see the available fonts. Once you find a font that you want to download and install, click or tap on it.

Check the details of the font and, if you decide you want it, click or tap the Get button from the top-right corner of the window.

NOTE: If the font you want to install is a paid one, you’ll need to first buy it before being allowed to download it.
Once the installation is done, the Get button changes to an Open one. Pressing it takes you back to the Fonts page from the Settings app, where you can find the new font listed among the ones available on your PC.

2. How to install downloaded fonts using the Settings app
If you already downloaded a font and you want to install it on your PC, you can do so in several different ways. The simplest one is to open the Settings app, navigate to the Fonts page (Settings > Personalization > Fonts), and drag and drop the font file onto the “Drag and drop to install” section at the top.

3. How to install fonts using File Explorer
You can also install a downloaded font using File Explorer. First, navigate to where you have the font file, then right-click on it. Select “Show more options” to access the old right-click menu.
Access the classic right-click menu in Windows 11
In the classic right-click menu, click or tap on Install.
How to install a font from the right-click menu
In Windows 10, the classic right-click menu is displayed by default, so all you need to do is right-click on the font and then click or tap on Install.
4. How to install fonts for all users
The previous method is also the one you should use if you want to install fonts for all users. Just follow the same steps to navigate to the font file with File Explorer and right-click on it. But, in the context menu, select “Install for all users” instead of the simple Install. The only requirement here is that you need to have administrative rights to be able to install a font for all the users on your Windows computer.

5. How to install fonts from the font preview window
Another easy way to install a downloaded font is from its preview window. Double-click or double-tap on its file, and Windows will launch a preview window where it shows you what that font looks like. Additionally, it also provides you with two buttons at the top: Print and Install. Obviously, to install a font in Windows from here, you’ll have to press the Install button.

6. How to install fonts from the Control Panel
If you’re a more conservative user, the old Control Panel offers another method to install and manage fonts in Windows. Open the Control Panel and navigate to “Appearance and Personalization > Fonts.” Then, simply drag and drop the font you want to install onto the list of fonts displayed in the Control Panel.

NOTE: For further details on how to use the Fonts section of the Control Panel to manage fonts on your Windows PC, we recommend that you read How to view, install, and remove fonts in Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. Although we wrote it for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, the Control Panel didn’t change in Windows 10 and Windows 11, so it also applies to this operating system.
Where is the font folder in Windows?
OK, so you’ve installed one or more fonts on your computer. Now, you might wonder where all the fonts go on your PC. So, where’s the font folder in Windows? Well, it depends:
The default font folder in Windows that stores the system fonts and all the fonts installed for all the users of your computer is
You can either navigate to this folder or simply insert the path in the Address bar.
The location of the font folder in Windows 10 and Windows 11 (all users)
But you might have also installed fonts only for yourself - for your user account only. Unless you’ve followed the “install fonts for all users” method we’ve shown you, the fonts you install using the other methods go into your current user’s profile in a special folder that’s not available for the other users of your computer. You can find this folder in the following location:
How to uninstall fonts in Windows
The best and easiest method to uninstall fonts from Windows is through the Settings app. Open it and get to the font management section, just like we’ve shown you at the beginning of this guide: navigate to “Settings > Personalization > Fonts.” Identify the font (family) you want to uninstall and click or tap on it. If you’ve selected a font family (which has multiple fonts bundled together), choose the one you want to uninstall from the drop-down menu. Then, click or tap the Uninstall button.
Uninstall a font in Windows 11
Confirm the uninstall action, and the font is removed.
