How to Import Fonts Into Paint

Paint uses the standard Microsoft Windows fonts, unless you download and install new fonts to your system. Instead of having to install the fonts specifically to MS Paint, you simply install the font to your computer and MS Paint recognized the new font in the list. The most important factor is closing MS Paint before installing the new font.

Instructions

1. Download a new font in TrueType (TTF) or OpenType (OTF) form to your Desktop or other folder on your computer.

2. Click on the "Start" menu, then click "Control Panel." Select "Appearance and Personalization," then double-click "Fonts" from the menu.

3. Click "File," then click "Install New Font." In the "Add Fonts" dialog, then click Desktop or the folder where you stored the downloaded font, and click on the font file you want to add.

4. Click "Install" to install the new font to your computer.

5. Open MS Paint and click on the "Text" icon in the toolbox. Find your new font on the list of available fonts.
