Add Fonts To FireAlpaca

The fonts used on FireAlpaca are system-specific. That means the fonts can be found on your computer’s operating system as well, so there is no need for complex installation steps.

The steps on how to add fonts to FireAlpaca are quite easy, as you will see outlined in this tutorial.

How to FireAlpaca: Add Fonts

Before adding new fonts in FireAlpaca, there are some things you should keep in mind.

First off, it is important to close all opened programs on your computer before beginning the installation process. This is because a few of the opened programs are likely to use some system fonts, and you are likely to not see any changes till you restart your system.

Once the installation is done, you can delete the downloaded file from your computer’s download folder. But be careful not to delete any files on the Font folder of your computer.

You really don’t have to do a lot to download fonts in FireAlpaca since the fonts used within the operating system will also work for FireAlpaca. This means you can use any TTF formatted file and not have to worry about any compatibility issues.

If you search the internet for fonts to install, you will discover that they are mostly available in compressed forms, which are either RAR or ZIP formats. This means you will sometimes have to decompress them using a program like WinRAR. Once decompressed, you can proceed to install the files.
