Using the New Font
Are you ready to use your awesome new font for your logo or other design project? It’s super simple to get started.
How to Use a Font with Software
Make sure the application you want to use has been closed and relaunch after the new font has been installed. Then, proceed as usual.
How to Use a Font on a Website
If you want to use a downloaded font on your website, the users will need to have that font installed on their machine as well. Since this will probably not be the case, the best solution is to use the @font-face in CSS.
Assign a @font-face rule and assign it a family name and source path.
@font-face {
font-family: myFont;
src: url('newDownloadedFont.ttf');
}
Then, you’re ready to assign the font-family to an element.
div {
font-family:myFont;
}
Helpful Tips
Remember to close all applications and relaunch before using your new font. You may need to Restart your computer as well.
Do not install the same font in multiple formats. For example, do not install “xxFont” in both TrueType format and OpenType format at the same time. It could cause conflicts when trying to use the fonts.

People often tell me I'm a font of wisdom, so allow me to share some wisdom about fonts. (Needless to say, I'm not a font of humor.)
In Windows 10, not much has changed about the way typefaces are installed, deleted and otherwise modified, but if you're not familiar with the processes, well, it's all new to you. Here's everything you need to know.
First up, you'll need to access the font control panel. Easiest way by far: Click in Windows 10's new Search field (located just to the right of the Start button), type 'fonts,' then click the item that appears at the top of the results: Fonts - Control panel.
As you can see, there's no clearly identified option to add new fonts, but the process is easy: just drag any TrueType font file to the main window containing all your other installed fonts. (See screenshot at top.) When you drop it, you'll see a brief 'installing font' message, and then, presto, you're done.
Removing a font is even easier: Click one, then click Delete. Just be careful not to remove any important system fonts like Calibre, Microsoft Sans Serif and Tahoma.

Finally, if you want to make systemwide changes to your font settings, you can do so here by looking to the toolbar on the left side of the Font control panel. For example, to increase or decrease the font size for, say, menus and icons, click Change Font Size. Choose the item you want to change, then select a size. (You also have the option of ticking the Bold box, which is actually kind of a nice tweak for things like title bars.)
After making your selection, click Apply, noting that it'll take a few seconds for the change to go into effect.
