While Google Docs doesn’t allow uploading custom fonts directly, you can expand your font repertoire using the extensive library of Google Fonts available within the app. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
1. Open the “More Fonts” window
In your Google Doc, click on the Font dropdown menu in the toolbar.
At the top of the expanded menu, click on the “More fonts” button.
2. Browse and choose fonts
The “More fonts” window will display a large library of Google Fonts. You can browse through them by scrolling or use the search bar at the top to find specific fonts.
To narrow down your choices, you can use the filters available above the font list. These filters allow you to categorize fonts by language, style, and other attributes.
Click on any font to see a preview of it in different sizes and styles.
3. Add your new selected fonts to your collection
Click the checkmark icon next to a font to add it to your personal collection of fonts. The font will move to the “My Fonts” section on the right side of the window.
You can add as many fonts as you like to your collection.
4. Use your added Google Doc fonts
Once you’ve added some fonts, close the “More fonts” window.
Back in your document, click on the Font dropdown menu again.
You’ll now see your added fonts listed alongside the default fonts.
Select any of your added fonts from the list to apply it to your text.
Bonus tip:
If you use certain fonts frequently, you can pin them to the top of the font list for quick access. Just hover over the font in the “My Fonts” section and click on the pin icon that appears.
