Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts]
“Segoe UI (TrueType)”=””
“Segoe UI Bold (TrueType)”=””
“Segoe UI Bold Italic (TrueType)”=””

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes]
“Segoe UI”=”NewFont”
Step (5): And within the last line of the registry code, simply replace Segoe UI with whatever font you wish to use.
For instance: Here we have replaced “Segoe UI” with the “Doppio One Regular” font.
Step (6): Once you have replaced the font name with your desired font, click on the File and then select Save As option.
Step (7): Now select All Files in the Save as type section and then save the file with a .reg file extension.
