Gone are the days when business PowerPoint presentations were limited to use only the default system fonts. Now almost all professional presentation templates are designed incorporating modern custom font types. Though adding a new font for Powerpoint is relatively a simple task, it often becomes a frustrating experience when things are not done right. In this article, we will walk you through how to correctly add any custom font type which may be required for your powerpoint template, either in Windows or MAC. So let’s begin Step 1. Download the external font file/s required for your new PowerPoint template Often you may find the required custom font types listed in a ‘Help’ file or a ‘ Readme’ file inside your downloaded PowerPoint template. Also, some designers may add the link to the custom font files in the first slide of the template. For all our, you may find the details about custom fonts inside a ‘Readme’ file.

Once you have the link, copy and paste it to your web browser and download the font file/s Step 2. Close all your Microsoft Office applications. These include PowerPoint, Words, Excel etc. This is a very important step. Newly installed fonts may not display in your template if you ignore this step. Install the font files • If you received a.ZIP file from the font website, first you need to unzip it.

If the font was downloaded as a.OTF file (OpenType) or a.TTF (TrueType) file you do not have to unzip/extract anything. (See the note at the bottom of this post for the difference between OTF and TTF fonts) • When you have the font file (OTF or TTF), simply double click on it. Font preview window will open. • Next, click the ‘Instal’ button.

The location of the install button may vary based on your operating system. In Windows ‘Install’ button is located at the top of the preview window while in MAC it is located at the bottom. Click the ‘Install’ button in the font preview window Please note that if you see multiple font files inside the downloaded font package, you need to add all them. Often same font type is coming as separate files for each of its weight type. For example ‘Bold’, ‘Extra Bold’ etc. You may see these multiple font files inside the unzipped fonts folder as shown in the below screenshot. Install all the font files contained inside of your download package Step 4.

Relaunch PowerPoint and reopen your template file. When you have installed all the required custom font files as above, you should see your template in its true beauty 🙂 If you have any questions feel free to add in the comments. Question: Should I install OTF (OpenTypeFormat) ) or TTF (TrueType Format) fonts? Sometimes you may get the same font type in OTF format and TTF format. If you are given the choice between OTF and TTF when downloading, select OTF font format over TTF.

When I moved from W7 to W10, I also ended up with Word 2016, which is fine. I didn't expect even Microsoft to be able to carry all of my fonts from Word 2013, Word 1892 or whatever version I was using. No problem; I have the font (Ashby Book) but I couldn't find out how to install it.

The Word internal Help system took me to a malware website (what's that about?) and every time I entered 'Word 2016' in Bing, it gave me lots of results for 'Word 2013.' I realize that Brazil is just a movie but it's becoming all too real. Vr for mac vr paint. Does anyone know how to install standard, compatible fonts in Word 2016? (And for extra credit): Why is this so complicated?

Many thanks for your kind response. As sometimes happens, the first shot didn't hit the target but it did focus the shooter. I pasted the fonts into the C: Windows Fonts folder but Word still didn't 'find' them. I then tried Right-Click-Install and didn't get an Install option, but I did get the option to open the Font Viewer, which then did give me an Install option. I did this with each variation of the fonts (bold, italic, etc.) and now Word 'sees' them all. I haven't tried using this font (the 'official,' logo-derived font for our company) in other programs yet but I feel confident it will work.
