Introduction to Using Downloaded Fonts in WPS

Understanding Font Formats
Before you start, it's important to understand the different font formats. Common formats include .ttf (TrueType Font) and .otf (OpenType Font). Most modern operating systems support these formats, but it's always good to check if your WPS version is compatible with the font you've downloaded.
Locating the Downloaded Font File
Once you have downloaded the font file, the next step is to locate it on your computer. The file might be in your downloads folder, or it could be in a specific folder where you saved it. Make sure you remember the location, as you will need to navigate to it in the next steps.

1. Open WPS and go to the Format menu.
