By Neha T 1 Comment

Windows 10 provides a number of classy and stylish fonts to create an attractive document. Well, if you’re not satisfied with the pre-installed ones, you can install new fonts of your choice.

So many fonts, fancy as well as decent, are available on the web which can be easily downloaded to your system. But just downloading won’t serve enough. To use the new downloaded fonts, you need to add them to the fonts in your system, by which we mean the installation part.

However, you can also delete the new fonts you have installed or you can restore the default fonts in case of an inconvenience.
