Windows 10: Cannot install fonts

So, a few months ago I figure out how to install custom fonts. So I go and download some and try to install them. The first time I try to install a font, it works fine. The font appears in my font list. The second time I try, it works fine also. But when I try to install a font a third time, suddenly the fonts are not appearing in the list. I tried installing it again, and it didn't work. I tried installing it with the control panel. It didn't work. Can someone explain to me why the first two fonts worked but the ones after that didn't?

Open font settings by clicking on start, click on control panel, and then click on appearance and personalization, under fonts click on change font settings. And select the font size.

If you’re trying to change windows font size then please follow the steps below:

To change Windows fonts

metrics.

2. In the Item list, click the part of Windows that you want to change the font for. For example, if you want to change the menu font, click Menu in the list. Then, make any of the following changes:

· In the Font list, click the font that you want to use.

Does that help?

 

Some web pages not displaying fonts correctly: at a loss here

For me this works:

Step 1: Run Command Prompt as administrator.

Step 2: Type C:\Windows\Fonts\Arial.ttf and press Enter.


Then I get the install option (no longer greyed out)
