What are Font Files?
Before we get into how to install fonts in Windows, let’s first take a look at what font files are. Font files are simply files that contain the information necessary to display a particular font on a computer screen. Font files come in two different formats: TrueType (.ttf) and OpenType (.otf). TrueType fonts are the most common type of font file, and they can be used on both Windows and Mac computers. OpenType fonts are less common, but they offer some advantages over TrueType fonts, such as improved compatibility with certain software programs.
Now that you know a little bit about font files, let’s move on to how to install them in Windows.
