These steps are for downloading a font on a PC. I am running Microsoft 10. The process may look a little different on your computer. Essentially, you just need to download the font, unzip the file, open the font file, and install it, but these steps and photos below may help you visualize the process of installing fonts to use with your Silhouette, Cricut, or other design software.

What if you downloaded fonts and they aren’t showing up in Silhouette Studio?
There is a known issue with Microsoft Windows permissions and Silhouette Studio. A recent update can cause fonts to go into a folder waiting for permission before they can be used. I have not had this happen yet, but a lot of Silhouette users have. Here is how to check if this is happening to you.
How to save space on your computer when downloading fonts
If you are concerned with using up too much space on your computer by installing a bunch of fonts. You have a couple of options.
![]()
One option, if you have a PC, (not sure about Mac) is that you can choose to install a shortcut to a font file instead of installing the file itself.
Here is how to create shortcuts to a font instead of installing on your PC
Similer app like spotify. If the font becomes unavailable though, you might not be able to use the font, however, you can still install the font from the downloaded file later if you want, if you have it saved.
![]() Use a font manager to save space on your hard drive
Another option is to use a font manager like Nexus Fonts. You can install all your fonts to your computer and use Nexus as a font viewer but, if you want to use it as a font manager, do not install your fonts after you download them. Put your downloaded font files into a single font file or divide them by style, project, etc. and add the file to the library of Nexus Font. You will be able to use your fonts in your design software while Nexus Font is open and once you close it, the fonts will go back to being uninstalled. A font manager is very helpful with viewing, organizing, and loading and unloading fonts if you put in the time to get it going.
It is pretty quick and easy to download fonts. I bet you will be hooked after your first one. Give it a try and start stepping up your designs.
