Hi,

Down loaded Lato font in (Lato20FL) . Right clicked on folder nothing - no install. Went to settings then personalization, then fonts and tried to drag it across go the littler red no entry sign. Folder would not let me right click and copy neither. Can anyone shed any light please???

Link to Down Load

Thanks for the link. I have downloaded it and I am going to try to install on a virtual machine (VM) of Windows 10. Be back shortly with results.......

Christina....

I was able to download and install one of the fonts. I only tried one, Lato Semibold. Opened the folder of fonts downloaded, and dragged it into the Font Control Panel. It installed. If you did not unblock the downloaded .zip before you extracted the files, Defender may have blocked it. I did, extracted all files, and installed this one successfully.

I think I see a step you missed based on what you said:

"Right clicked on folder nothing - no install."

You have to extract the downloaded folder first from the zip file. There are 2 folders in there. One for Mac, one for Windows.



Second folder contains the Windows font files.

@IRIXUIH it was moved to the Office section: How to download cloud font in Outlook 365
