Add fonts to Google Drive
I came across this great tip today:
[W]hat many people don’t realize is that Google Drive actually allows users to access a huge library of fonts, comparable to or even possibly exceeding the number offered by its main competitor, Microsoft Word – you just have to add them yourself. To access all the fonts available to you on Google Drive, simply open up a document and click on your font drop down menu. At the very bottom is an almost unnoticeable option to “Add fonts…”

What an awesome tip, I had no idea it was so easy to add fonts to Google’s service! 🙂

Nice and simple to add fonts isn’t it? 🙂

Is it possible to add a font that you have downloaded onto google drive? I recently downloaded the Papyrus font, and wish to use it on my report. But I’m am unsure how, is it even possible to do that?
Sorry for the late reply, Grey. In Google Docs you can add fonts from Google’s own font list, but you generally cannot upload an arbitrary local font file like Papyrus and have Docs use it. So unfortunately the answer is mostly no.
How can I add the Choctaw font to Google Drive.
Raymond, if the Choctaw font is not already in Google’s Add fonts list, I do not know of a way to upload it into Google Docs directly. The feature is really for enabling more Google-provided fonts, not importing your own font files.
