Google Docs has a wide assortment of fonts to choose from, but you may not have taken full advantage of these different styles on your Chromebook, PC, or Mac computer.

That's because there are additional fonts that won't appear in the main drop-down menu — and there's also an add-on you can install which gives you access to even more fonts.

Here's what you need to know about using either method to add and use other fonts on Google Docs.

How to add a font to Google Docs

If you just want to access the additional fonts that are already available in Google Docs — but don't show up in the main font list — you can easily do so:

1. Go to docs.new and start or open your document.

2. Click "More Fonts" in the top toolbar — this will prompt a pop-up window to appear.

Click on "More fonts" when you open the drop-down menu.

3. Select any other fonts you want from the left column, then click "Ok" when finished. These fonts will be added to your main list.
