To change the default font, you’ll be dealing with the registry, and if you make a mistake, you can cause damage to your computer. To be on the safe side it’s best that you create a backup of your registry. Creating one always comes in handy anyway.
Try a New Font on Your Windows 10 Computer
To change the default font on your Windows 10 computer, open “Control Panel -> Appearance and Personalization” and select the “Fonts” option. You can open the Control Panel by right-clicking on the Windows Start menu.
Look through the available options and take note of the font you want to use. Open a new page in Notepad and copy and paste the following registry code. In the last part of the code where it says to enter the name of the new font, that’s where you type in the name of the font you saved earlier. Click “File -> Save As.” You can set your own file name, but make sure it ends with a “.reg” extension. Under the “Save as type” field, select “All Files.”
When you’ve created your new file, double-click on it and click on “Yes” when the new window appears. Click on OK, and to finish it off, you’ll need to reboot your computer. When your computer starts jp again, you should see the new font you added earlier.
How to Go Back to the Default Font
If you regret changing the default font and want to go back, rest assured that you can. Open notepad and copy and paste the following code: Once you’ve pasted the code, click “File -> Save As” and select “All Files” where it asks you where you want to save the file. It doesn’t matter what name you give the file, but make sure it has a “.reg” extension. Don’t forget to click “Save” and double-click on the newly created file. Click Yes, followed by OK. You’ll need to reboot your computer to make the changes final.
