Here’s how to access the Google Font Library: While it’s still no substitute for my precious Mollie Jo or A Perfect Blend fonts, you might be surprised at what Google’s catalog has to offer. The fonts that appear in your font dropdown are actually just a fraction of the available fonts in Google’s font collection, and it’s super easy to add more. While I’ve been known to work around this by creating a heading or some other design in PowerPoint, saving that as an image file, and then uploading the image to Google Doc or Slides, it’s not always a feasible (or necessary, let’s be honest) option. Since Google does not allow the importing of custom fonts, we’re limited to whatever Google has to offer in its collection.


If you’ve ever been frustrated by the lack of options in Google’s font library, you’re not alone.Īs a self-proclaimed font nerd, it’s one of my biggest frustrations when working in Docs or Slides.
