With every Operating System that Windows releases, it always tries to add innovative features that don’t make users feel bored. It either enhances old features or introduces new productive features.
We are sure that seeing the same thing can get drab and boring over time and one such thing is the font type. Every Operating System that Windows releases have a default font type. However, with the passage of time users tend to get bored and want to have a change.

The method of changing the default font involves making changes in the registry. Registry is the most important part of an Operating System and modifying it is a risky task, as any changes done can cause serious damage to your computer. It is always advised to take a full backup and create a system restore point before making any changes in the registry.
Please perform the steps below to change the default font type:

“Segoe UI (TrueType)”=””

“Segoe UI Bold Italic (TrueType)”=””
“Segoe UI Italic (TrueType)”=””
“Segoe UI Light (TrueType)”=””
“Segoe UI Semibold (TrueType)”=””
“Segoe UI Symbol (TrueType)”=””
“Segoe UI”=”ENTER-NEW-FONT-NAME”
- It is suggested not to type the code to prevent any typing errors. Once this is done, replace “ENTER-NEW-FONT-NAME” with the font you want. This field contains the type of font you want to set the default text as. In this article, we are taking the font type as Arial.

“Segoe UI”=”Arial”
