Download Fonts for PowerPoint Templates

Here at Slidesgo, we tend to work on our templates using Google Slides, as this program allows for easy collaboration between members of our design team.

Regarding fonts, this is also an advantage, because Google Slides incorporates all fonts available in Google Fonts, which are free to use and offer a lot of variety.

However, when downloading our templates in PowerPoint format, you might encounter issues with the fonts, especially if they are not installed on your computer. Fortunately, this can be easily resolved. Since these fonts are sourced from Google Fonts, downloading them is free, and the installation process is quick and straightforward.

Let’s explore how to download and install these fonts so that your PowerPoint templates maintain their intended design and appearance.

Downloading the Fonts on Your Computer

To illustrate the steps involved, we will use our template titled “The Ultimate Marketing Plan” as an example. After downloading the template, find the “Fonts & colors used” slide, which is typically located after the main presentation slides. Here, you will see the specific fonts utilized in the template.

In this instance, we are using “Archivo Black” and “Source Sans Pro.” To download these fonts, open your preferred web browser and navigate to the Google Fonts website. Enter the font name in the search bar, select the font, and then click on “Download family” located in the upper-right corner.

Repeat this process for each font you need. Next, we’ll move on to the installation step.

Installing the Fonts on Your Computer

Once you have downloaded the font files, locate the .zip file and extract the .ttf file(s) contained within. Double-click on each .ttf file to preview the font’s appearance. In the top-left corner of the preview window, click the “Install” button to add the font to your computer. Be sure to do this for all the fonts you downloaded.

Now, when you open the template in PowerPoint, the newly installed fonts should be available in your font list, ready for use.

Modifying Google Slides’ WordArt Text in PowerPoint

Some of our templates feature text created with Google Slides’ version of WordArt. When you use the PowerPoint version of these templates, you may notice that the WordArt text behaves differently, potentially appearing distorted or stretched when you attempt to modify it.

In Google Slides, text boxes with WordArt automatically adjust to fit the length of the text. However, in PowerPoint, when you edit WordArt text, it will adjust to fit the dimensions of the existing text box instead. To resolve this, simply resize the text box manually after you have changed the text.
