If you don’t see it and have a ton of them installed, just type in its name in the search box to find it.
That’s all there is to it. Now you can create stylish and unique documents with some of your favorite fonts not included in Windows 10 by default.

Apple Mac computers come with a large font selection that you can use with software installed on the computer, such as Microsoft PowerPoint for Mac. If your business uses a specific font type that you want to include in your PowerPoint presentations, add the font to the computer, as PowerPoint does not have a specific method for installing fonts on the Mac. Instead, you install the font with the other fonts on the Mac, and PowerPoint pulls the font types from the Mac installation.
1.Download your desired font from a website that offers downloadable fonts (links in Resources). The single font is downloaded to your computer as a single file, or in a standard or compressed folder.
2.Navigate to the downloaded font on your computer. If the downloaded font is in a standard folder, double-click the folder to access the font; if it's in a compressed folder, double-click the folder, choose a location to extract the font to, then navigate to that location to access the font file.
3.Double-click the font file to open the Font Book utility. The font displays in a window, providing a preview of what it will look like in PowerPoint.
5.Click the 'Default Install Location' drop-down menu and select 'User' if you only want the font installed on your user account, or 'Computer' if you want all users to have access to the font.
6.Click the red circle in the Font Book Preferences window to save your selection.
7.Click 'Install Font' on the Font Preview window to install the font on your Mac.
