How to Add a Font to Google Docs

Accessing the whole list of fonts that is included in the application but is hidden from view is the quickest and most convenient method for adding new fonts to Google Docs. You have the option of beginning with a fresh document or highlighting the text in an existing document in which you would like to make a change to the font. Then proceed with the following steps:

1. When working with a fresh document, position the pointer on the page in the desired location. To modify already existing text, first choose the text that has to be modified, then click the Font Picker button located in the upper toolbar.

2. Choose More fonts from the drop-down menu that appears at the top of the Fonts list.

3. A dialogue box titled “Fonts” will now appear.

4. Navigate through the items on the list. The fonts that are marked with a checkbox and coloured blue indicate that they are already included in your font list. You have omitted any fonts that have a black hue from your list. Simply clicking on a font will add it to the list. It will turn blue and show in the list of My fonts on the right side of the dialogue box.

5. The Typefaces dialogue box contains a selection of potentially hundreds of different fonts. Use the drop down filters for Scripts, Show, and Sort that are located above the Fonts list to sort and navigate through all of the fonts that are available. This will make it easier to find the font that you need. If you already know the name of the font you want to use, you can also search for it.

6. When you are through making your selections, you may exit the Fonts dialogue box by clicking the OK button. Your font list will be updated to include the fonts you chose, and they will be placed either in the Recent portion of the list or directly below it, in alphabetical order.
