Unfortunately, you can't directly import fonts into Microsoft Paint. Instead, you need to install the fonts into your operating system (Windows), and then Paint will be able to use them. Here's how to do it:
-
Download the Font Files: Obtain the font files you want to use. These usually come in
.ttf(TrueType Font),.otf(OpenType Font), or.ttc(TrueType Collection) formats. Be sure to download fonts from reputable sources to avoid malware. -
Extract Zipped Files (If Necessary): If the font files are in a
.ziparchive, you need to extract them. Right-click on the.zipfile and select "Extract All..." Follow the prompts to choose a location to extract the files. -
Install the Font: There are a few ways to install the font:
-
Right-Click and Install: Locate the extracted font file(s) (e.g.,
.ttf,.otf). Right-click on the file and select "Install." -
Drag and Drop: Open the Fonts folder in Windows. You can find this by searching for "Fonts" in the Start menu. Drag and drop the font file(s) into the Fonts folder.
-
-
Confirm Installation (If Prompted): Windows may ask for permission to make changes to your computer. If you trust the source of the font, click "Yes."
-
Restart Paint (If Already Open): If Microsoft Paint was already open, close it and reopen it. This will ensure that Paint recognizes the newly installed fonts.
Now, when you use the Text tool in Microsoft Paint, the newly installed fonts should appear in the font selection dropdown menu.
