Fonts

Fonts is a PowerShell module for managing fonts. It helps you install, uninstall, and list fonts on the system.

This module only provides the functionality to manage fonts on the system. To install popular fonts, review the NerdFonts and GoogleFonts modules.

Supported platforms

This module supports managing fonts on Linux, macOS, and Windows operating systems.

Installation

Install the module from the PowerShell Gallery:

Install-PSResource -Name Fonts
Import-Module -Name Fonts

Usage

Use the module to list, install, and uninstall fonts on your system. Fonts are managed for the current user by default; pass -Scope AllUsers to manage fonts for every user, which requires elevated privileges (administrator on Windows, root on Linux and macOS). On Windows the module also registers or unregisters fonts in the Windows registry so applications can find them; on Linux and macOS it manages the font files in the appropriate font directories.

Example: List installed fonts

List all fonts installed for the current user:

Get-Font

List all fonts installed for all users:

Get-Font -Scope AllUsers

Example: Install a font

Install a font for the current user:

Install-Font -Path ./MyFont.ttf

Install a font for all users (requires elevated privileges):

Install-Font -Path ./MyFont.ttf -Scope AllUsers

Example: Uninstall a font

Uninstall a font for the current user:

Uninstall-Font -Name 'FontName'

Uninstall a font for all users (requires elevated privileges):

Uninstall-Font -Name 'FontName' -Scope AllUsers
