Installing fonts in Microsoft Windows® is very simple.
Once fonts are installed in Windows, they are available to your Office
programs.
You can download many font from the Internet by here. It may be
contained in compressed .zip files to reduce file size and make downloading
faster. If you have downloaded a font that is saved in .zip format, you can "unzip"
it by double-clicking the icon for the font and following the instructions on
the screen.

NOTES
·
To select more than one font to add, in step 6, hold down the
CTRL key, and then click each of the fonts you want to add.
·
You can also drag OpenType, TrueType, Type 1, and raster fonts
from another location to add them to the Fonts folder. This works only if the
font is not already in the Fonts folder.
·
To add fonts from a network drive without using disk space on
your computer, clear the Copy fonts to Fonts folder check box in the Add Fonts dialog
box. This is available only when you install OpenType, TrueType, or raster
fonts using the Install New Font option on the File menu.
Working with new fonts in Office
When you install new fonts, remember
that each font will only work with the computer you've installed it on. If you
share Office documents with other people or plan to use or view your document
on a different computer, the new fonts you've installed on your computer might
not be displayed the same way on the other computer. Text that is formatted in
a font that is not installed on a computer will be displayed in Times New Roman
or the default font.
To make sure that you can see the fonts
on different computers, you can either install the new font on the other
computers you plan to use, or, if you are using a TrueType font in Word or
Microsoft PowerPoint®, you can embed the font to save the characters with your
document. Embedding fonts can increase your document's file size and may not
work for some commercially restricted fonts, but it is a good way to make sure
that your document with new fonts will look the same on other computers.
