How to change default system font on Windows 10 (5181040172)

 Segoe UI, Windows 10's default system font, is quite attractive. You can, however, change the default system font on your Windows 10 PC if you have something better to replace it with. We'll demonstrate how to do it.



    Windows 10 does not give the option to change the fonts of your pc but you can change it by making some alterations in the Registry.

Older versions of Windows, such as Windows 7, included personalization settings for changing the system font for many visual elements on the desktop, such as File Explorer, icons, title bars, menus, message boxes, and more. However, Windows 10 removed these settings for some reason, leaving you with the default system font.


To begin, you must first determine the official name of the font that you want to use as the de


fault system font. This name can be found in the Settings app.


Open the “Start” menu, type “Settings,” and then select the first result. You can also open the Settings window by pressing Windows+i.


Click “Personalization” in Settings, then “Fonts” in the left sidebar. Locate the font you want to use as the default in the right pane and click its name.



    Take note of the font family's official name, such as Agency F. 



You must now write a registry hack to add this font to the Windows Registry. To make registry hacks, use a text editor such as Notepad.


To begin, open the “Start” menu, type “Notepad,” and then click the first result.


Copy and paste the following code into a new Notepad document. Then, in the code, replace "NEW-FONT" with the name of the font you noted earlier. Make sure to keep the double quotes around the font name, as shown in the code.


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts]
"Segoe UI (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI Bold (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI Bold Italic (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI Italic (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI Light (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI Semibold (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI Symbol (TrueType)"=""

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes]

"Segoe UI"="NEW-FONT"



Click File > Save As in Notepad. Then, in the "File name" field, type a name followed by ".reg." To save the file as "mynewfont," for example, type "mynewfont.reg." Choose “All Files” from the “Save as type” dropdown menu, then browse to the location where you want to save your file and click “Save.”



Navigate to the location where you saved your newly created Registry hack. Right-click on this file and choose "Merge." The values in your file are now added to the Windows Registry.


To add your new values to the Windows Registry, click “Yes” in the prompt, then “Yes” again.


Lastly, restart the pc to effect the changes on the pc. 


When your computer boots back up, you’ll find your selected font is now the default font for nearly all Windows panels and tools.

To use another font as the default font, right-click your Registry hack and select “Edit.” Replace your current font’s name with your new font name, and click File > Save to save the file.
