How to Add Fonts to Google Docs? 2 Ways for You to Try! - MiniTool

Add chic fonts to your Google Docs? This guide will cover two easy ways to add fonts to Google Docs.

Google Docs has become a document writing and editing tool for more and more people. But compared to Microsoft Word, it offers relatively limited font options, which may be inconvenient for some users.

What if you can't find the font you want when editing Google Docs? Don't worry, adding fonts is totally feasible. Here are two ways to add new fonts to Google Docs:

Method 1: Use the "More Fonts" function

If you want to use other Google Docs fonts that are not displayed in the main font list, follow these steps:

Step 1: Log in to Google Docs using your Google Account.

Step 2: Open a document and you will find that the default font is Arial. Click the drop-down arrow and select more fonts .

Step 3: In the new window, you will see a list of Google Docs fonts. Select one or more fonts and click OK . If you want to add special fonts, you can search by searching fields and then add them to your Google Docs.

Method 2: Use Extensis Fonts extension program

In addition to the above methods, you can also use third-party extensions to add fonts. The Extensis Fonts extension provides easy access to hundreds of additional fonts. How to use it is as follows:

Step 1: In Google Docs, go to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons .

Step 2: Search for Extensis Fonts in the search box and select it.

Step 3: Click the Install button, grant the extension permissions, and start the installation.

Step 4: Once the installation is complete, go to Extensis Fonts > Start to activate this extension. You can see many fonts in the sidebar. To use a font, highlight your text and select a font from the list.

Can I add custom fonts?

Google Docs only use special web-based fonts and does not allow the addition of local or custom fonts (including fonts you create and fonts created by others). This is not a Google-only restriction, and Microsoft Word has similar restrictions.

If you search in Google Chrome for how to add downloaded fonts to Google Docs, you can't find the relevant method. Hopefully Google can add this feature in the future to meet users' needs.
