How To Get Chinese Fonts For Word

Reading Time: 2 minutes

As a learner of Madarin Chinese, being able to write Chinese characters is a huge part of studying. Even though I learned how to actually write Chinese characters with hours and hours of hard practice, most of the communication I am involved with that requires Chinese characters is all digital: on the computer or smartphone.

However, programs such as Word and PowerPoint only offer limited ways to write in Chinese characters if you have a non-Chinese version installed. This can be quite boring and annoying when creating presentations or simply writing a beautiful letter with Word. That’s why I searched the Internet on how to get beautiful different fonts for your Microsoft bundle!

Chinese Fonts

I worked with a Chinese version of Word and PowerPoint at my job and realized that these versions include just as many different and beautiful fonts like our English or romanized versions. Therefore, I looked up how to get different Chinese fonts to use on my own computer with German Windows installed on it.

Where to get fonts:

All you basically need to do is to download font files (.ttf) and install them. It’s super easy and there are many sites where you can download cool fonts from. A great site for different Chinese fonts is “Free Chinese Font”.

This website offers a wide selection of beautiful Chinese fonts. They have different fonts depending on traditional or simplified characters.


How to install:

1. Choose a font of your liking on copy and paste the download link into a new tab.
