How to Install Gujarati Text

You can install a Gujarati font into your Windows font folder in order to view online text in this Indo-Aryan language. Gujarati is the native tongue of the inhabitants of Gujarat, a state within India, and some surrounding areas. Download the Gujarati font for free online and then copy the file into your font folder so that it can be chosen as your default text language within your Internet browser. Fortunately, you can install Gujarati fonts in less than five minutes.

Instructions

1. Connect to the Internet, then download a Gujarati font from either the Gujarat Samachar, UChicago or FotoText website (see Resources). Click "Save" when the download dialog box appears to store it to your hard drive. The name of the actual Gujarati font style may vary from site to site.

2. Navigate to the location of the saved font, and then copy and paste it into the "C:\WINDOWS\Fonts" folder. Access your Windows fonts folder by going to "Start," "My Computer," "C:," "Windows" and then selecting "Fonts" from the list of folders. Right-click the font file and select "Copy." Right-click anywhere inside of the "Fonts" folder, and then select "Paste" from the pop-up menu.

3. Open your Internet browser, and set the text to be displayed in Gujarati. Click "Tools," "Internet Options" or "Options." Select the "Gujarati" font from the "Fonts" section, which is located on the "General" tab within Internet Explorer and on the 'Content" tab within Mozilla Firefox.
