When you create a Google document, the default font is Arial. If you'd like to change it, simply select a different font from the font drop-down menu in the toolbar.
If you'd like to choose a different font for a particular section of the document, select the text you'd like to change, click the font menu, and select a font. The changes are applied to the selected text.
At the top of your font list, you will see a section of your most recently used fonts.
Adding fonts to your font list
You can also add fonts to your font list if your Google Docs language setting is one of the following languages:
- Catalan
- Danish
- Dutch
- English
- Finnish
- French
- German
- Italian
- Norwegian
- Portuguese
Here's how to add a font to your font list:
- At the bottom of your font list, select “Add fonts.”
- A font picker will let you "shop" for web fonts for your font list.
- Click a font to add it to your "My fonts" list.
- Sort fonts in the list by using the Sort and Show drop-down menus, or use the search box to search for a specific font.
- Click OK when you’re finished.
When you return to your document, your new fonts will be highlighted in your font list. Fonts you add to your list will show in collaborators' font lists.
