Brand Bootcamp – Installing Fonts (PC)

Tech

Need to install on a Mac? We’ve got you covered.

The first step to keeping a tight backside brand is consistency. You now have the tools to do so (via your nifty Branding Guide) so what are you waiting for?

Install those fonts and keep your brand in shape!

Important

  • Make sure you are installing the desktop fonts and not webfonts. The fonts we provide you as a part of the Branding Guide are desktop fonts. If we designed your website for you, the correct fonts are already installed in your WordPress site, so you don’t have to worry about that.
  • Zipped folders MUST be unzipped. Some Windows operating systems allow you to peek inside a zipped folder. This does not mean it is actually unzipped.

Windows 10

  • Unzip the fonts first. Fonts cannot be installed if they are zipped.
  • Right-click the font file and click ‘Install.’

Windows 7

  • Unzip the fonts first. Fonts cannot be installed if they are zipped.
  • Double click the font file and click ‘Install.’
