Windows 10: custom fonts to embed in windows 10

Why cant you change the font throughout the windows 10 platform? I'd like to change mine to Iron Maiden font for the entire computer!

Anyone know a way around the strict/ lame font settings??

Fonts stopped working after updating Windows 10

Hi,

Non-standard fonts need to be installed on a computer so that they'll be displayed properly. If a document with non-standard fonts is opened on a computer without those fonts, the text will be displayed with standard fonts like Arial or Calibri instead.
However, depending on the program you're using to create documents, there may be an option to embed the font. For example, in Word 2016, you can embed the font in a document by following these steps:

• Click File.
• Choose Options.
• Click Save.
• Check Embed fonts in the file.
• Click OK.

Let us know if you have any other concerns about fonts on your computer.

 

Embed Fonts in PDF - Problem with paper size

I format books for print, and my client needed the fonts embedded when I save the Word (Windows 10) file as a PDF. I was able to do this by using this suggestion from someone here:

Your best option is to use one of the free PDF virtual printers available on the web. Free PDF Printer is a great free option and includes the option to embed fonts in your documents. Since you are producing PDF's for print, you would be better to use
this printer than the Print to PDF option as there are huge issues with fonts in the Microsoft PDF production . . .Simply select print and then choose the virtual printer to create your pdf, the software has 2 options, Embed all fonts or subset fonts.

NEW PROBLEM: The fonts are embedded now, but my client discovered that the PDF I sent to her is the wrong page size. The Word 2007 file was 6x9 for a print book, but after I embedded the fonts per instructions above, the page size became 8.5 x 11. What
can I do to fix this so the PDF file is still 6x9?

 

Windows 10 Creators Update fonts issue

Still broken for the Creators Fall Update, it seems...

Symptoms we see in Word for custom installed fonts are:

• Fonts not displaying correctly in the Fonts list.
• Using a font causes the "Insufficient disk space or memory..." error.

Custom fonts do not appear in the system Fonts folder, and some standard fonts are greyed out. Attempts to reinstall custom fonts indicate they are already installed.

Wordpad: custom fonts are invisible in the fonts list. They can be selected by typing their name, but the font type does not display correctly.

Suggested workarounds have been tried with no success. We're really hoping Microsoft will prioritize this issue, as the media company I work at uses custom fonts heavily.

As mentioned in this thread already, fonts work fine with pre-1703 Windows 10 versions.
