Is there an Arial text generator for desktop?

Asked By dawn fraserr 0 points N/A Posted on - 02/12/2013

I'd like to personalize my Core i3 Windows 8 PC.  I would like to make the Arial font to be the default font on all visuals and applications on my computer.  Is there an Arial text generator or do I mess up some codes in order to achieve this?  Thanks.

Microsoft is heading towards a unified look and feel on Windows platforms, so they removed the feature of replacing font in Windows 8. But there is still a way to change it, just follow the instructions below.

1. In Windows 8, press windows button + R. This will open run command window.
2. Type regedit and press Ok.
3. Locate the following address "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsNTCurrentVersionFontSubstitutesMSShellDlg".Edit the current value and replace it with the  font you would like to use.
4. Locate the following address "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsNTCurrentVersionFontSubstitutesMSShellDlg 2". Edit the current value and replace it with the font you want.

If you want to adjust the font size, just go to Control Panel → Video → Advanced Appearance, and change it there.
