How to Preview Fonts on my Computer (PC)

When you’re trying to find that perfect font for your project (in a hurry), wouldn’t it be nice to be able to see ALL the fonts installed on your PC?

In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to do it. It’s called the Font Settings menu and it’s such a valuable tool for font-a-holics!

The easiest way to get to the Font Settings menu on your PC is to click the Windows or “Start” menu button.

Then type “font settings” in the search box, and it pops up right there. Click on it.

You now have a preview of all the fonts installed on your PC right at your fingertips! You can scroll through the list or use the search box to find a specific font.

In the end, we thought the Shibori font, downloaded and installed from So Fontsy's Handwritten Font Bundle 2.0 was perfect!
