Fonts for PowerPoint
Find fonts for headings, academic presentations, proposals, portfolios and other Microsoft PowerPoint slides. On desktop computers, PowerPoint uses fonts available to the operating system. Preview the typeface, download the file and install it before reopening the presentation; when sharing, remember that another computer may not have the same font installed.
How to install a font for PowerPoint
- Download the font and review the available TTF or OTF files on its page.
- Extract the ZIP when needed and install the font using your operating system's font installer.
- Close and reopen PowerPoint to refresh the font list after installation.
- Test the file on another computer or export to an appropriate format when you need to preserve the appearance of the slides.
Font styles for presentations
Sans serif and serif fonts support readable headings and text; monospace suits technical content; calligraphy, handwritten, decorative and retro styles work better as occasional accents.
Sharing and license
A presentation may move between computers with different font collections, so test the final delivery. The font license still applies regardless of the software used. Review the terms before using the typeface in commercial presentations, courses or distributed material.
