You can always download a font that better suits your needs, especially if you’re looking for a font that brings a bit of your personality to your project. You can even delete fonts you know you’ll never use. It all starts with a virtual trip to the Microsoft Store.

Some Windows 10 users have complained that when they try to install fonts on their PC and copy and paste the font into their Windows Fonts folder, the font doesn’t appear in the Fonts folder and a message appears indicating that the font is already installed.

Reinstall the font

The fonts are easy to install, but that doesn’t mean the installation can’t be wrong. If this is the case, the easiest way is to uninstall and reinstall the font.

• Open the file explorer and navigate to the next folder.

• Copy the police file and paste it into the folder above.
• If a command prompt asks if you want to overwrite a file, allow the overwrite.
• You can also delete the font from the folder above and copy it again.
