[Note] This method was only tested on Windows 10.

How to change Windows 10 system-wide font to another font. In this example I’m using & providing “FontAwesome” which a clean TTF and OTF used on the Alliance forum. I’ve uploaded the system registry file that will change the font to ‘Font Awesome’ but before you run the registry file you will need to download and install the font FontAwesome.ttf

Put FontAwesome.ttf in your C:\Windows\Fonts of your Windows 10 PC
Download Win10_FontAwesome.reg (attached here) and run it
Reboot PC

Windows font should be changed.

==================================
To use another font of your own choosing:
==================================

Right click -> Edit Win10_FontAwesome.reg or open a Notepad.exe and copy/paste the following:

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"="Change this to your desired font"

Change the last string of text that reads “Change this to your desired font” to the font you want. If it’s Verdana put “Verdana” (don’t use the *.ttf extension). If it’s a special font be sure to follow the same steps as Font Awesome to ensure you have your font file installed in C:\Windows\Fonts.

File -> Save As -> Save As Type: All Files -> Save file as FontName.reg
Once you’ve done this run the FontName.reg file. It should successfully install.
Reboot PC – Viola.
