How to change the font windows 10

By default, in Windows 10, the SEGOE UI font and the user is not provided with the ability to change this to all system elements. However, change the font of Windows 10 for the entire system or for individual items (signatures of icons, menus, windows headers) is also possible in this instruction in detail how to do this. Just in case, I recommend creating a system recovery point before performing any changes.

I note that this is a rare case when I recommend using third-party free programs, and not a manual registry editing: it will be easier, visually and more efficient. It can also be useful: how to change the font on Android, how to change the font size of Windows 10.

Changing the Windows 10 system font using the registry editor

If you wish, you can change the default system font in Windows 10 using the registry editor.

1. Press Win + R keys, enter the regedit and press ENTER. The registry editor opens.
2. Go to RegistryhKey_Local_machine \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ Currentversion \ Fonts and Clean the value for all SEGOE UI fonts except Segoe UI Emoji.

   

3. Go to SKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ FontSubstitTextSCOW in it the SEGOE UI string parameter and enter the font name to which we change the font. You can see font names by opening the C: \ Windows \ Fonts folder. The name should be entered exactly (with the same capital letters that are visible in the folder).
4. Close the registry editor and exit the system, and then go again.

It is possible to do all this and easier: Create a REG file in which you only need to specify the name of the desired font in the last string. Content REG File:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Fonts] "Segoe UI (TrueType)" = "" "Segoe UI Black (TrueType)" = "" "Segoe UI Black Italic (TrueType)" = "" "SEGOE UI BOLD (TrueType)" = "" "Segoe UI Bold Italic (TrueType)" = "" "Segoe UI Historic (TrueType)" = "" "Segoe UI Italic (TrueType)" = "" "Segoe UI Light (TrueType) "=" "" SEGOE UI Light Italic (TrueType) "=" "" SEGOE UI SEMIBOLD (TrueType) "=" "" Segoe UI Semibold Italic (TrueType) "=" "" Segoe UI Semilight (TrueType) "=" "" SEGOE UI Semilight Italic (TrueType) "=" "[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ FontSubstitutes]" Segoe UI "=" font name "

Run this file, agree with the change in the registry, and then log output and input to Windows 10 to apply the system font changes.
