Introduction to Using Downloaded Fonts in WPS

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.
