Hi. Is there a way to chage system font at Windows 11 ?
Thanks.

Not helpful I was asking to change the font style - not the font size.

This worked for me: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-change-default-system-font-windows-10
It uses the registry so make a restore point just to be safe.

This method breaks the start menu
Replying directly to MDH:
See my reply to the original question asked by user "Bug Locker", if it's accepted to add to this thread.
If it's not accepted by original questioner,
search for "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00" and follow the steps.
It's an editor I found in 2011 that still works well.
The registry editor routine I've used for years doesn't break the start menu.
Perhaps ExplorerPatcher on GitHub would help you with start menu format you prefer to Windows 11.
you dont need an entire restore point for this kind of tweaks, just need two .reg files
(one that applies the changes and the other that revert back)
anyway... the problem in W11 (relased 2021 Gregorian) when changing the system-font is that tweak breaks the Start Menu (for example, why I dont know if this tweak also breaks something else). after I using W11 for a couple of years I still have to find a solution to change the system-fonts
is absurd... that a company like MS didnt add the feature to easily change the font, even W95 (relased 1995 Gregorian calendar) allowed you to change the font in easy way
it is also absurd that to increase the zoom, the system freezes for a few minutes. W11 is yet another demonstration of how dysfunctional MS is, even in something so irrelevant and simple, so... how much more in what is important and complicated!
and I can continue...
View > Customize even you dont make changes and if make changes the panel crash, just a CTD (every time and I use W11Pro)eccetera...
but I also add this in conclusion: to remove the round edges from the windows you have to apply a patch to the DWM (with an attached annoying Windows Defender warning in taskbar)

I use a small registry editor routine I found back in 2011 to change "Segoe UI " to "Times Roman" which is my favorite font to use.
REMEMBER: THIS IS A SYSTEM REGISTRY EDITOR SUGGESTION, SO PROCEED WITH CAUTION WHEN USING IT!!!!
It's a starting place and you can edit the editor to whatever font you prefer; if there's a TT font equivalent in your preferred font, most likely the editor will change it for you.
If not, the original Microsoft font remains in place.
Search for "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00" for the original editor set-up routine.
The text wording of my own copy of the editor, after I added my own TNR font and saved to new file, looks like this (I added the italics):
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts]
"Segoe UI (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI Bold (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI Italic (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI Bold Italic (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI Semibold (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI Light (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI Symbol (TrueType)"=""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes]
"Segoe UI"="Times New Roman"
It still works on Windows 11, although Win 11 has many more Segoe UI fonts than back in 2011..
And it doesn't break the start menu.
Added start menu and task bar app you might like: ExplorerPatcher on GitHub
