Кастомизация отображения текстов позволит повысить уровень комфорта работы и сделать интерфейс операционной системы более привычным. Например, похожим на оформление предыдущих версий системы.
Использование стандартных функций системы
Проще всего научиться изменять системный шрифт в Windows 10 с помощью встроенной в систему утилиты. Она называется редактором реестра и требует для настройки отображения текста выполнения следующих действий:
- Перейти к самой утилите: используйте комбинацию клавиш Win+R, а потом введите ввести regedit.
- Выбрать раздел Fonts, который расположен в ветке HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion.
- Удалить все значения для тех шрифтов, имена которых совпадают со стандартным Segoe UI — кроме Emoji.
- В этой же ветке реестра найти раздел FontSubstitutes.
- Создать строковый параметр под названием Segoe UI и ввести в строку значения название нового шрифта, который будет установлен по умолчанию.
- Для завершения изменений следует выйти из реестра и из системы вообще. Затем снова зайти.
Название подходящего шрифта можно посмотреть в каталоге Windows\Fonts, расположенном системном разделе. А узнать, как будут отображаться после изменения отдельные буквы, поможет встроенная функция «Таблица символов» или текстовый редактор MS Word.
Изменение для последних обновлений системы
В современных версиях Windows 10 есть возможность установки новых размеров шрифтов без изменения масштаба других элементов. Его преимущество — отсутствие необходимости скачивать и устанавливать стороннее ПО. Для увеличения размера шрифта Windows 10 выполняют такие действия:
- Перейти к приложению «Параметры» (можно просто нажать Win + I).
- Открыть раздел специальных возможностей.
- Перейти к «Дисплею» и указать значения новых размеров текста, которые задаются в процентах от установленных по умолчанию.
- Применить выбранные и настройки подождать, пока они начнут действовать.
Величину символов можно попробовать изменить и с помощью установки новых настроек масштабирования. Для этого снова придется открыть приложение «Параметры», перейти сначала к «Системе», затем к «Дисплею» и, наконец, к разделу масштаба и разметки. Здесь можно выбрать, как будут масштабироваться элементы системы, вместе с которыми изменятся и размеры шрифтов.
Настройки для старых версий
Если версия системы сравнительно старая, до 1703, есть возможность изменения размера ее шрифтов путем выполнения таких шагов:
- Перейти к разделу «Дисплей» в приложении «Параметры».
- Выбрать дополнительные параметры экрана.
- Выбрать дополнительные изменения для элементов.
- Найти раздел, где можно изменять параметры только для текста, и внести изменения для отдельных элементов системы.
При желании в этом же окне можно увеличить или уменьшить размеры всех элементов, которые изменятся вместе с параметрами текста. Изменения будут приняты после нажатия на «Применить». Не понадобится даже выход из Виндоус, как при использовании других способов.
Возврат к стандартному отображению
Разобравшись с возможностями установки новых параметров текста, стоит познакомиться с тем, как вернуть стандартный шрифт в Windows 10. Для этого достаточно сделать следующее:
- Перейти к вкладке шрифтов системы.
- Открыть раздел параметров шрифта.
- Нажать по кнопке восстановления всех параметров.
После этого характеристики текста вернутся к значениям, установленным в системе по умолчанию. Возврат срабатывает в большинстве случаев. Хотя перед использованием реестра стоит создать «Точку восстановления» — или сохранить копию файла с помощью стороннего ПО типа CCleaner.
Программы для изменения шрифта в Windows 10
Среди способов сменить шрифт в Windows 10 — применение специально разработанных для этой цели программ.
Утилита Winaero Tweaker
Здесь порядок действий следующий:
- Открыть утилиту и перейти к расширенным (Advanced) настройкам.
- Выбрать вариант из имеющегося списка — для изменения доступны и текст в строке состояния, и заголовки, и даже подписи к иконкам.
- Нажать на Change font, выбрав начертание, размеры и стиль.
- Сохранить изменения (Apply changes), выйти из Виндовс и зайти обратно.
Все, что было изменено в программе, так же легко восстановить. Для сброса настроек следует выбрать в ее главном меню соответствующую кнопку (Reset). При ее нажатии настройки отображения текста станут такими же, как до использования утилиты.
Advanced System Font Changer
Еще один метод, который поможет поменять шрифт на компьютере Windows 10, заключается в использовании Advanced System Font Changer. Работать с утилитой несложно — достаточно выполнить такие действия:
- Зайти в утилиту и выбрать из списка шрифты, которые будут изменяться.
- Установить параметры текста. При использовании утилиты доступны изменения шрифтов заголовков, пунктов меню и панели статуса в окне.
- При необходимости, внести изменения в характеристики других элементов.
Пользоваться программой Advanced System Font Changer можно бесплатно, скачав ее с официального сайта разработчика. При необходимости сброса настроек можно использовать расположенную в основном окне утилиты кнопку Default.
System Font Size Changer
Утилита System Font Size Changer помогает изменять настройки шрифта Windows 10, внося изменения в реестр. Причем перед запуском программа предлагает сохранить reg-файл с текущими параметрами. Его следует открыть, когда понадобится вернуть стандартные настройки.
В окне программы можно настраивать размеры шрифта или сделать его полужирным (Bold). Для изменения доступны стандартные элементы системы — заголовки, меню, окна сообщений, подписи и названия панелей. В отличие от большинства похожих утилит, с этой меняется даже шрифт подсказок.

On Windows 10, you can change the default system font, but you now have to make changes to the Registry to complete this task.
In older versions like Windows 7, the Control Panel included personalization settings to change the system font for many visual elements on the desktop, such as File Explorer, icons, title bars, menus, message boxes, and more. However, for some reason, Windows 10 removed these settings, and you are now stuck with the default system font.
However, it is possible to change the «Segoe UI» default font on Windows 10, if that is something you want to do. Now, it just takes a few more steps using the Registry.
In this Windows 10 guide, we will walk you through the steps to change the default system font for most desktop elements.

How to change default font on Windows 10
To change the system font on Windows 10, use these steps:
Warning: This is a friendly reminder that editing the Registry is risky and can cause irreversible damage to your installation if you don’t do it correctly. It’s recommended to make a full backup of your PC before proceeding. Alternatively, you can create a system restore point, which will also help you revert the changes.
- Open Start.
- Search for Notepad and click the top result to open the text editor.
- Copy and paste the following Registry code onto the file: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)»=»»»Segoe UI Italic (TrueType)»=»»»Segoe UI Light (TrueType)»=»»»Segoe UI Semibold (TrueType)»=»»»Segoe UI Symbol (TrueType)»=»»[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes]»Segoe UI»=»NEW-FONT-NAME»
- Open Settings.
- Click on Personalization.
- Click on Fonts.
- Select the font family you want to use.
- Note the official name of the font family – for example, Courier New.
- In the Notepad text with the Registry code, replace «NEW-FONT-NAME» with the name of the font you want to use in the entire system – for example, Courier New.
- Click the File menu.
- Select the Save as option.
- Use the «Save as type» drop-down menu and select the All Files option.
- Confirm a descriptive name for the file, such as «my-system-font,» and use the «.reg» as the extension – for example, my-system-font.reg.
- Click the Save button.
- Right-click the newly created «.reg» file and select the Merge option.
- Click the Yes button.
- Click the OK button.
- Restart the computer.
Once you complete the steps, the new font should be available throughout the desktop visual elements, including File Explorer, message box, taskbar, and apps that use the system default font settings.

Although you can select from a lot of different fonts, it is recommended to choose a style that is easy to understand since fonts like Webdings or Wingdings use symbols, and they can cause issues to the installation.
How to restore default system font on Windows 10
If you change your mind, you can always restore the previous settings using the Registry or using a restore point.
Undo settings with Registry
To restore the default font settings on Windows 10, use these steps:
- Open Start.
- Search for Notepad and click the top result to open the text editor.
- Copy and paste the following Registry code onto the file:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts]»Segoe UI (TrueType)»=»segoeui.ttf»»Segoe UI Black (TrueType)»=»seguibl.ttf»»Segoe UI Black Italic (TrueType)»=»seguibli.ttf»»Segoe UI Bold (TrueType)»=»segoeuib.ttf»»Segoe UI Bold Italic (TrueType)»=»segoeuiz.ttf»»Segoe UI Emoji (TrueType)»=»seguiemj.ttf»»Segoe UI Historic (TrueType)»=»seguihis.ttf»»Segoe UI Italic (TrueType)»=»segoeuii.ttf»»Segoe UI Light (TrueType)»=»segoeuil.ttf»»Segoe UI Light Italic (TrueType)»=»seguili.ttf»»Segoe UI Semibold (TrueType)»=»seguisb.ttf»»Segoe UI Semibold Italic (TrueType)»=»seguisbi.ttf»»Segoe UI Semilight (TrueType)»=»segoeuisl.ttf»»Segoe UI Semilight Italic (TrueType)»=»seguisli.ttf»»Segoe UI Symbol (TrueType)»=»seguisym.ttf»»Segoe MDL2 Assets (TrueType)»=»segmdl2.ttf»»Segoe Print (TrueType)»=»segoepr.ttf»»Segoe Print Bold (TrueType)»=»segoeprb.ttf»»Segoe Script (TrueType)»=»segoesc.ttf»»Segoe Script Bold (TrueType)»=»segoescb.ttf»[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes]»Segoe UI»=-
- Click the File menu.
- Select the Save as option.
- Use the «Save as type» drop-down menu and select the All Files option.
- Confirm a descriptive name for the file, such as «restore-default-font,» and use the «.reg» as the extension – for example, restore-default-font.reg.
- Click the Save button.
- Right-click the newly created «.reg» file and select the Merge option.
- Click the Yes button.
- Click the OK button.
After you complete the steps, the Windows 10 default font should rollback to the previous configuration.
Undo settings with Restore point
Alternatively, you could also use a previous restore point created before modifying the font settings to undo the changes. However, use this option as a last resort, since depending on when you are restoring the system, the feature may also undo other system changes you may have configured after the restore point was created.
To undo system changes, use these steps:
- Open Start.
- Search for Create a restore point and select the top result to open the app.
- Click the System Protection tab.
- Click the System Restore button.
- Click the Next button.
- Select the restore point you created before applying the settings.
- Click the Next button.
- Click the Finish button.
Once you complete the steps, the system will need to be restarted to finish the process.

In this article, we will show how to change the default system font on Windows 11/10, including the way to restore the default system font using the Registry Editor.
If you’re tired of using the default system font on Windows 11/10, you can change it to your desired font with a simple registry tinkering. This will change the default system fonts of the desktop icons like Recycle bin, including title bar, message box, and others.
In the older version (Windows 7 or lower version) changing the default system font was not a big deal. It was quite easy and straightforward through personalization settings in the Control Panel. But for some reason, these settings were removed and users remained stuck with the default system font. You had to do just this:
- Right-click the mouse on a blank area of the screen and choose Customize.
- Click Color and appearance of windows.
- Then, click Open classic appearance properties for additional color options.
- Next click the Advanced button.
- Pull down the list item and choose the element you want to change the font, icon, for example.
- Then pull down the Font list and choose the font to use. Then define its size and horns (bold or italic).
- Then repeat the operation for the other elements to customize. Finally, click on the OK button and then click Apply. The change is immediate and you don’t have to restart your computer. Before you proceed, one thing you must know is that without having proper skills, editing a registry is dangerous. It can damage your system permanently which might be irreversible. So, if you have a little knowledge of what you’re doing then you can skip it and ask a skilled person to complete the adjustment.
Before you go ahead and use the steps, do remember to create a system restore point first.
To get started, open Notepad first. You can open it using the Run command. Simply press Windows+R keys to launch the Run dialog box, type Notepad in the text field, then hit Enter to open the Notepad app.
In the Notepad app, copy and paste the following text code:
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)"="" "Segoe UI Italic (TrueType)"="" "Segoe UI Light (TrueType)"="" "Segoe UI Semibold (TrueType)"="" "Segoe UI Symbol (TrueType)"="" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes] "Segoe UI"="NEW_FONT"
Now, open the Settings app and click on the Personalization category.
In the left pane, select the Fonts tab. You will see a large collection of the font family on the right.
Select the font you want to use from the list and also note its Official name. For example – Book Antiqua.
Now replace “NEW_FONT” with the font name you have selected from the Settings page. Because I want the font name “Book Antiqua” to be used in the entire system, I have replaced the “NEW_FONT” with the Book Antiqua in the registry code.
After replacing the font name in the Notepad, click on the File menu and then select the “Save as” option. On the Save as page, switch “Save as type” to All Files.
Name the file, choose the preferred location of your file, and then click the Save button. The file name must have the .reg extension. For instance – I have named my file my_font. So, the name of my file with the .reg extension should be “my_font.reg”.
Now go to the location where the .reg file has been saved. Then right-click on it and select the Merge option from the context menu.
Click Yes and then hit the OK button to save the changes.
After performing the above steps, restart your computer and the new font will substitute in the entire system.

Now click on the File menu and then select the “Save as” option. On the Save as page, use the drop-down menu to switch “Save as type” to All Files.
Thereafter you have to name the file, choose the preferred location to save the file, and then click the Save button. Save the file with the .reg extension. For example – I have named my file restore_my_font. So, the name of my file with the .reg extension should be “restore_my_font.reg”.
Now go to the location where you have saved the restore_my_font.reg file. Then right-click on it and select the Merge option from the context menu.
Click Yes then hit the OK button to save the changes.
Once you have done this, restart your computer, and it will revert your system configuration to the default font.

What is the default font in Windows 11 or Windows 10?
Segoe UI is the default font in Windows 11 and Windows 10 families of operating systems. Segoe UI (User Interface) is a member of the Segoe family and it is used in most Microsoft products for user interface text, as well as for many of its online services.
