How to Add Fonts to Google Docs

Step 1: Head to Docs.google.com
Go to the official Google Docs website on your browser and sign in to your Google account for access. Android and IOS users can simply download the Google Docs app via mobile and open the app with their Google account signed in. Once you are inside Google Docs, proceed to make a new document.

Step 2: View More Fonts
Once you create a Google Docs, you will see in the top toolbar on your screen that the default font for your document is “Arial.” Click that button and you will see a drop-down menu containing a series of free fonts you can use from “Amatic SC” to “Verdana.” But if you still need more examples, just press “More fonts” to add more fonts.

Step 3: Choose Your Favorite Fonts
Clicking “More fonts” means a popup window will appear. And this window enlists a series of fonts you can pick from. Just keep scrolling down until you can find your preferred font. You can tell when a specific font is selected when there is a checkmark beside the font’s name in the left column while its full name will be listed in the right column of the popup window. Also, you need not choose just one new font because you can choose more fonts. Click every option you like and add new custom fonts to your fonts list by pressing “OK.”
