Why are Fonts unavailable?

Question

I had a lot of favourite fonts but when I got a new computer with updated system they had dissapeared e.g. Art Deco ssi. How can I get them back or buy them safely?

Answer 1

If you still have access to your old computer, you can copy fonts from the Fonts folder and install them on the new system. I have been moving fonts from one computer to another for decades and have several folders of Available Fonts (with, of course, a lot of duplication, but font files are quite small) from which I can install fonts as needed.

Answer 2

Hello, MMC.

The new PC has only the fonts that were used when installing the OS. You will need to install all additional fonts yourself, for example from the Microsoft Store.: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/manage-fonts-in-windows-f12d0657-2fc8-7613-c76f-88d043b334b8 (see the section "Add a font from the Microsoft Store")

You can also copy the font files from the old PC to the new one, and then install them, as described in the section "Add a font from a file".
