Ways to Change the Font in Windows 7

Most users like Windows 7, but some would like to make some adjustments to the design of the operating system. This article will show you how to change the font in Windows 7 using several methods.

The first way: using a special program

First, consider a method that involves using an additional program called Microangelo On Display. Unlike the following methods, for most users this will seem simpler. So, to change the font in Windows 7, you need to:

1. Download, install and launch the Microangelo On Display app.
2. In the program menu, select Icon Text.
3. After opening this section, all parameter fields will be inactive, to activate them, uncheck the Use Windows Default Setting item. He is responsible for abolishing the use of standard Windows font settings.
4. Now, to change the font itself, you need to select the desired one from the Font drop-down list. Please note that after selecting a different font in the Preview image, you will be shown how it will be displayed in the system.
5. If you thought about how to change the font size in Windows 7, then this parameter is also set in this program. To do this, you need to select the desired size from the Size list.
6. Among other things, you can make the text in italics or bold by checking the Bold or Italic checkbox, respectively.
7. You can also specify advanced settings in the Desktop area.

After selecting all the desired parameters, you just have to click the Apply button so that they take effect.

The second way: through the personalization menu

You learned the first way to change the font in Windows 7, now let's move on to the second, which involves the use of standard operating system tools. We will use the personalization menu, which can be opened by pressing RMB on an empty place on the desktop and selecting the item of the same name from the menu. In the window that opens, do the following:

1. Click on the "Window Color" button.
2. Click on the link "Advanced design options."
3. In the new window that appears, initially you need to determine the object whose design you will change. You can do this in the "Element" drop-down list. Looking ahead, you can make adjustments to the font only at the message window, icons, headers of the active window, in tooltips, panel names, inactive window headers and menu bars.
4. Having selected the desired element, pay attention to the items "Font", "Size", "Color" and buttons with the letters "K" and "F". They are responsible for changing the display of fonts.

You just have to set the necessary parameters and click "Apply" so that they take effect. Now you know the second way, how to change the font in Windows 7, now let's move on to the third.

Third way: add a new font

Specifically, this method does not completely change the font; it just adds a new font to the registry, which can already be selected in the personalization menu or in the Microangelo On Display program. So, to add a new font, you need:

1. Download it from the Internet. It is important to download a file with the extension TTF.
2. Open the folder with the file and double-click on it.
3. In the window that appears, click the "Install" button.

Now it is added to the system, and you can select it in the program presented in the first method or in the personalization menu.

Summing up, I want to say that there are actually more ways to change the font in Windows 7, but these are quite enough for you to achieve the desired result.
