Font Freedom

July 19, 2014 By Mercedes Hutchens Leave a Comment

I became obsessed with fonts before I knew teacher blogs existed.  There was a time when I was spending hours online downloading and installing new fonts.  My font list has gotten out of hand.

I’ve been wanting to streamline my fonts for a while now.  I found this website that told me how to delete all of my installed fonts and restore just system fonts.  I also learned that the fonts that were deleted were actually still on my computer and easy to find so I could just reinstall the ones I really wanted.

Now my computer only has fonts that are Commercial Use OK.  Now, when I’m creating, I can use any font on my computer.  I feel free.  I created this info graphic so you can find font freedom, too.

I went to Kevin and Amanda, reread their TOU and then downloaded fonts with a critical eye towards clarity and legibility for kiddos.  When I went to install, there were some I didn’t because they didn’t have numbers.

My next stop will be KG Fonts.  I love her fonts.  I have a couple single use licenses, but for my birthday, I’ve given myself permission to buy the All Fonts Lifetime License next time it is on sale.

To finish up, I decided to delete the system fonts that have symbols for languages I can’t read.  I’ve been afraid to delete them for some reason, but I’m not sure why.  There were a couple that it wouldn’t let me delete but overall there were dozens of fonts I deleted.

I caught up on some Netflix while I did this and now when I go to create, I’m free to use every font on my computer.  What a wonderful feeling.  I’m off to create.  ðŸ™‚
