How to add fonts to MS Paint

The Microsoft Windows operating system includes a basic graphics creation and an image editing tool called Paint . As with other Windows programs, the fonts available for use within Paint are related to what each computer has in the central folder of the Fonts operating system. While you have access to the level of Windows administrator, and have the file associated with the new source available on your computer, adding a font type for Windows 7 or Windows Vista, and making it available in Paint can become a quick task.

Steps to follow:

one

Log in to Microsoft Windows using an account that has administrator permissions.

two

Navigate to the folder that contains the font file that you want to add to Windows and make available to Paint .

3

Click on the source file and select "Install." Depending on the configuration of the system, you may need to confirm your choice before Windows can continue.

4

The installation process only takes a few seconds, and once complete, the source you just installed will be immediately available to all Windows programs, including Paint.
