Before You Start

Before you begin, it’s important to understand that you don't actually add fonts *to* PowerPoint itself. You install fonts onto your operating system (Windows or macOS), and PowerPoint, like other applications, will then have access to them. Gathering the right materials and checking a few key details first will save you time and prevent compatibility headaches later.

What You Need

Safety and Licensing Checks

Check first: The most common mistake is forgetting to embed the font when you save the presentation. If you don't embed it, your custom font will be replaced by a default system font when someone else opens the file on a computer that doesn't have your font installed.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these steps to correctly install a new font and use it within your PowerPoint presentations. We've included instructions for both Windows and macOS users.
