Windows 10: Use of Microsoft Fonts for Social Media Monetization

Hello. Trying to get help from a legitimate Microsoft Agent or Staff. I hope you can help me with this.


Is it legal to use the pre-installed fonts that comes with Windows 10 for commercial use? I am talking about social media monetization.


Let's say I am using a third party application in my Windows 10 laptop. It automatically show the installed fonts in my device. Is it legal to use the fonts to create text content in the design I make? I will use a photo editing software for this. The works I will make may be used as a profile picture for my social media accounts and watermarks in my video. I might also create a modified subtitles with backgrounds in a form of image using the photo editing software and import it in the video that I will share and monetize in social media platforms.


Also, is it legal to use a microsoft font to create subtitles for my videos using a third party video editor software. Of course, it is a softwares that automatically detect and show pre-installed fonts in a laptop



There is no proper EULA for microsoft fonts included in windows 10. I've been searching it and the only reference I saw is this:

I hope you can help me with this. Thank you.
