}Frequently asked questions
Why is my new font not showing in Word or Photoshop?
Close and reopen the app. Most apps only load the font list at start-up. If it still doesn't appear, restart your computer.
Can I use Birds of Paradise in Google Docs?
No. Google Docs only offers fonts from the Google Fonts library. Use a similar Google font like Great Vibes instead.
