When you’re writing simple, everyday letters and other documents in Word or whichever word processor you’ve chosen, you may well never – or rarely – venture beyond using fonts such as Arial, Calibri and Times New Roman. There are times when basic and elegant is what you need, but also times when you need something a little different.

Windows includes a pretty decent range of fonts, ranging from the professional to the quirky. And when you install applications such as image editors and word processors, they’re likely to add a few of their own.

But there are thousands of fonts out there, both free and paid-for, with something to suit every document and project you may be working on.

We’ll show you were you can find the very best fonts, how to install them, how to manage them, and how to use them.
