There are a number of beautiful fonts that come with your Microsoft Office. However, it is quite natural for you to find and fall for a Google font that you don’t have in your Microsoft Word. So how do you get the Google font of your liking in your Windows 11 machine and use it in your Microsoft Word? In this article, we explain in some very simple steps how you can download and install Google fonts in your Windows 11 or Windows 10, so that you can easily use them in applications like Microsoft Word.
Note: Since Google fonts are installed for your Windows and not specifically for Microsoft Word, once these fonts are installed, they will be available for use in any of the supported applications.
