Windows installation

How to install on Windows

This is the easiest route for most users and matches Microsoft's recommended install flow.

Step-by-step

  1. Open Downloads and find the OTF font file you exported.
  2. Right-click the file and choose Install (or Install for all users if you need all profiles).
  3. Allow changes if prompted by Windows for trusted files.
  4. Open Settings > Personalization > Fonts and confirm the font appears there.
  5. Restart your document/design app before selecting the new font.
  6. If Word/PowerPoint still does not see it, close Settings and reboot the app once.

Where to check files if it disappears

Keep the original `.otf` file in a project folder too, not only in Downloads. If needed, re-install from that copy later.

If Word/PowerPoint doesn't show it

  • Close the app completely (not just minimize), then reopen.
  • Check that the file extension is .otf and the export was successful.
  • If multiple versions exist, remove old versions from Fonts then install the newest one.
  • If still missing, use the cache-reset page in this section.

Success check

In Settings > Personalization > Fonts, search for the family name you set in Tracey. Then test that same name in a fresh document.
