How to Manage Your Fonts in Windows 10

Windows 10 updates offer new ways to manage the fonts loaded on your computer. You can now view, hide, and remove fonts, download new ones, and use drag and drop to add more.

You probably have an army of fonts on your Windows 10 PC that you can use to spice up your documents, presentations, and other files. But how do you know which fonts are available, how they’ll appear, and how to obtain new ones?

If you’re using Windows 10, Microsoft offers a couple of tools that can help. With the standard Fonts tool in Control Panel, you can see which fonts are installed and view and print a preview of each one.

With the Windows 10 April 2018 Update or higher, you can perform other tricks via the Fonts screen under Settings: see how each font looks without having to preview it; uninstall fonts you don’t need; and download more fonts from Microsoft. The Windows 10 May 2019 Update, meanwhile, adds the option to install a font by dragging and dropping it.

To check on this, go to Settings > System > About. Scroll down the About screen. If the Windows version says 1903, you have the May update. If not, go to the Update & security category in Settings. If your PC is ready and compatible, you’ll see an update called «Feature Update to Windows 10, version 1903,» which you can then install.

Preview Fonts

Preview Font Families

If the font is a family (any font represented by multiple pages), double-clicking opens a page displaying each member of the family. You can then preview each individual font. If you select Preview for a font family, multiple viewers open to display the font with different attributes, such as bold, italic, and bold italic.

For font families that require more than a few viewer screens, Windows first asks if you want to open them all. You then have to close each individual preview window.

Hiding Fonts

You can hide a font you don’t wish to see or use when you work with certain programs and apps. However, this trick doesn’t work across the board. Hiding fonts through the Fonts screen renders them invisible for certain built-in apps such as WordPad and Notepad.

Applications such as Microsoft Office generate their own font menus, so hiding fonts through Control Panel has no effect on them. To hide a font, right-click on it and select Hide from the pop-up menu.

You can also automatically hide all fonts that aren’t designed for your language settings. To do this, click the link for Font settings on the left sidebar. In the Font settings window, check the box to Hide fonts based on language settings. Click OK.

Drag and Drop a Font

Finally, with the Windows 10 May 2019 Update, you can install a font by dragging and dropping it. This can come in handy if you’ve backed up and deleted an unprotected font and now wish to reinstall it. You can also use drag and drop to install a font you’ve downloaded from the web. Many sites offer fonts, both free and paid.

To install a font using drag and drop, open File Explorer and look for the TrueType (TTF) file. Drag the file onto the pane in the Font screen that reads Drag and drop to install. Release your hold on the font when you see the Copy icon, and it should be installed.

Windows 10 font list

Introduction

An important development in Windows 10 is the Universal Windows Platform (UWP): a converged app platform allowing a developer to create a single app that can run on all Windows devices. Windows fonts are one aspect of this convergence: Windows 10 introduces a recommended UWP font set that is common across all editions that support UWP, including Desktop, Server, and Xbox.

A number of additional fonts are available for Desktop and Server, including all other fonts from previous releases. However, not all of these are pre-installed by default in all images. In order to make disk usage and font choices more relevant to users according to the languages that they use, a number of fonts have been moved into optional, on-demand packages. These packages are designed around the different scripts that fonts are primarily intended to support, and most are installed automatically by Windows Update when the associated languages are enabled in language settings (for example, by enabling a keyboard). Any of these Feature On Demand (FOD) packages can also be installed manually via Settings. To add font packages manually, select the Start button, and then select Settings > Apps > Apps & features > Manage optional features.

The following is a list of desktop font sets that are present in the most updated version (2004, May 2020 release) of Windows 10.

Below you will also find list of fonts in each of the Feature On Demand (FOD) packages.

Please note: Not all of the Desktop fonts will be in non-desktop editions of Windows 10 such as Xbox, HoloLens, Surface Hub, etc.
