At the same time, another likes to change themes, colors and different personalization options. On Windows 7, we are able to open the personalization preferences and change the system font for various elements in the operating system, including the font for icons, title bars, menus, message box, and more. Unfortunately, this is not the case with Windows 10. Ironically, the menu shows fonts available, but it does not allow to change or modify fonts. With this intention, I will talk to you about Windows 10 and his possibilities for modifying the default system font.

"Segoe UI Light (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI Semibold (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI Symbol (TrueType)"=""

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes]

"Segoe UI"="Candara"

Please remember, I select Candara font, for that reason, it was written on the notepad, but if you need another font, just replace it in the last name for your font of choice.

Next, proceed to go to File / Save as and there, we select the option “All files”, assign any name to the file with the .reg extension, an click save. Now, we need to double-click in new .reg file to merge into the registry. A warning window will appear, click yes
