Most of the time, the regular Microsoft Word fonts are sufficient when it comes to the creation of new templates. However, sometimes it can be necessary to add a custom font. Here are 3 options how to add fonts:
1. Microsoft Word Templates:
To add custom fonts directly to the template, simply open a random Word template and navigate to the “File”-tab. Once there, click on Options (to be found on the left side at the bottom).
This brings up the Word Options-dialog. Select the ❶ “Save”-tab and make sure, that the ❷ “Embed fonts in the file”-option at the very bottom of the dialog is checked (see Figure 1).

Click on the ❸ [OK]-button to save your changes.
Please note: The fonts are now saved in this template only. If you want the font(s) to be added to other templates too, you have to repeat the above steps with each template.
2. Dynamics 365 ONLINE:
To add a custom font to your Dynamics 365, open your service configuration. If you are not sure how, learn here more.
Navigate to ❶ “manage fonts” and open it.
