Speaking of fonts, many friends may dismiss them as nothing more than installation and deletion, and there is no secret. Is that really the case? If the font is really as simple as the above, how can it appear in the control panel of Windows? In fact, fonts in Windows system are extremely important resources, and all content display can not be separated from the corresponding font support. If there is something wrong with the font of the system, an exception will be displayed, or the system or program cannot run normally.
Look at the fonts clearly and explore the secrets of Windows fonts.
If you want to delete a font, you can click to select a font in the font manager, and then click File → Delete. At this time, the system will ask, "Are you sure you want to delete these fonts?" , select "Yes" to finish deleting fonts.
Tip: You cannot delete the default font in the current system, otherwise there will be garbled characters in the system after deletion.
Second, the system font management experts
Although the Windows operating system provides font management tools, its functions are relatively weak. For example, we have downloaded many new fonts and want to check the effect of each font before installation, so this management tool will not play any role. What we can do is to double-click the font files one by one to check the effect.
Is there any way to simplify this operation? It can be done easily with fontlist.
When running Fontlist, the fonts installed in the current system appear in the left column of the software in the form of a list, and the specific style of the currently selected font is displayed in the right column. After selecting a font, click View → Font Information to open a font properties window.
Tip: FontLister displays English font samples by default, and cannot reflect the characteristics of Chinese fonts when previewing. The solution is to enter some Chinese characters in the window on the right, which is convenient for us to preview Chinese fonts.
In addition to viewing installed fonts, FontLister can also preview font styles that are not installed. Click "View → Change Font Type → Not Installed", and the window "Browse Not Installed Fonts" will pop up. Find a folder containing fonts that are not installed in Folders, and the font files in the folder will be displayed as a list in the Font List box. Click OK to view the styles of the fonts that are not installed in the font list.
First, the basic operation of Windows fonts
In the Windows operating system, the operation of fonts is very simple. Open the control panel, double-click the font item, and open the font manager. All fonts currently installed in the system are in it. Double-click a font file to open the properties window of the font, displaying basic information such as the name, size and version of the font, and listing the font styles of 26 English letters and Arabic numerals respectively.
If you want to install a new font, you can click File → Install a new font, and browse to the folder where the new font is located in the pop-up add font window, and the font will automatically appear in the font list. Click OK, and the font will be installed in the system immediately.

Third, use MAC fonts on the PC.
Many fonts on MAC are beautifully designed, but because MAC and PC are different platforms, their fonts are not universal. It's a pity that I can't use such a beautiful font. Can MAC fonts be used on PC? Using a software called CrossFont, you can easily complete the conversion from MAC fonts to PC fonts.
Click File → Add Folder to open the Browse for Folder window, and find the folder containing MAC fonts in. Dfont format, and click OK to import these fonts into the program.
After the import is completed, the "Cenvert from" box of the program will automatically switch to the item "dfont ffilfil-MAC truetype font" (as shown in Figure 3), and the number of imported fonts will be displayed on the right side of the base. At the same time, the conversion option "TTF- PC TrueType Font" will appear in the "Convert to" box on the right.
Click the browse button in the Output Folder, select the font output path, and save the converted font file.
After all the settings are completed, select the font to be converted in the "Select font file to be converted" list, and click "File → Convert selected font" to start font conversion.
Fourth, it is not difficult to make words out of nothing.
What's the use of coinage? Maybe many friends have such questions. Now there are 8 thousand fonts instead of 10 thousand. Is it necessary to create a new font? In fact, although there are many styles of fonts, they can't meet our needs. For example, to make a personal homepage, we always hope that the fonts on the webpage are unique. In this case, it is particularly meaningful to create a font that belongs only to you. Here's how to create a new font using the font creator.
Run the font creation program, click File → New, name a new font in the TTF font creation window that pops up, and click OK to open the font editing window.
Double-click a character, such as "L", in the font editing window to enter the editing mode of "L". Click "Insert → Outline", draw a rough outline of "L" with brush strokes, and then adjust the specific style of characters by adding nodes to them.
After all the characters are made, you can click "File → Save" to save what you just made as a new font file.
If we think it is too much trouble to make all the fonts ourselves, then we can also use the Font Creator program to modify the existing fonts. Click "File → Open → Font File" to import a font, and then you can personalize each character of the font.
V. Unusual dormant fonts
When the system is started, all installed fonts will be preloaded. The more fonts, the greater the impact on the system startup speed.
Although we can save system resources by deleting fonts we don't need temporarily, we don't need them temporarily or never. Once deleted, we have to reinstall them when there are application requirements. Using a software called ADing ParkFont can avoid the above troubles. It can put temporarily unnecessary fonts into a dormant state, which does not occupy system resources at ordinary times, but can wake up at any time when we need to use them.
Run ADing ParkFont, and its main interface is quite simple. On the left, all fonts currently installed in the system are listed, and on the right, a list of fonts in hibernation is listed.
Click to select the font to hibernate in the list on the left, and then click the "Park" button below to add the font to the hibernation list on the right. When we need to wake up a dormant font, we need to click the corresponding font in the list on the right, and then click the "Unpark" button below, and this font will be added to the list on the left again, so that we can use it in the application.
In addition, we can also check the "Run at Windows startup" item in the "Settings" tab, so that the program will start with the system startup.
6. Everyone can be a calligrapher.
With the increasing popularity of computers, there are fewer and fewer friends who can write good words. Looking at the calligrapher's calligraphy style, are you also envious? But I didn't practice hard when I was a child. Now I sharpen my gun, but not fast or only fast. Now with ougishi Lite, anyone can write a good hand, which is enough to make Wang Xizhi feel ashamed and Su Dongpo candidly admit defeat _
Running ougishi Lite, we can see that the default language of the software is Japanese, but fortunately, the use of the software is very simple, even if we can't understand the menu prompts, it will not affect our use.
Before using, we need to make some simple settings for the software. Click the "Adjust" button in the right toolbar, and a menu will pop up. In this menu, we can choose which famous calligrapher's font should be used to convert the later input text (the menu is garbled and can only be tried one by one). In addition, you can change the font style by adjusting the parameters above the toolbar.
After setting the parameters, write freely in the task window with the mouse. After writing, click the "Show" button on the right toolbar, and the program will convert the words we wrote with the mouse into calligraphy.
Click the "Copy" button in the toolbar, then open a drawing window, press "ctrl+v" to paste the text into it, save it as a picture such as Jpg/Gif, and then you can use PhotoShop and other tools to process it.
