The documents in the computer have become essential elements because thanks to this type of files, we can store and manage different reports that we have on the PC. We store a lot of information both on our phones and on our computers, either on the hard drive or in cloud applications such as Google Drive ..
Google Docs is the Google application for managing documents, which is also used by users to create documents online and share them among users. Google gives us the possibility to create multiple documents for free thanks to the Docs application, which works online and gives us tools for its use. We currently have the possibility of using Google Fonts to have a large repository of fonts and there we will find a varied collection of open source web fonts specially designed for the Docs word processor and HTML websites.
Today TechnoWikis will analyze how we can use these sources to create documents with a new style and everything according to our personal approach..
1. How to add new fonts to Google Docs
Before installing new fonts in Windows 10 it is ideal to see them in a Google Docs document and so we can define whether or not they are viable for use. As we have indicated Google Docs is a word processor web application that supports the addition of all available fonts.

The above method is useful if we do not want to download the font to the operating system and simply use it for the current text, but there is a possibility to download that font to the system so that it is always available for any document.
Step 1
To do this, we go to the following link where we find the Google source repository:

With this method we can install and use custom fonts from Google in a simple way.
3 . Use free templates for Google Docs
Another option you have, is to use different templates in Google Docs, so that depending on the one you choose, the source will be one way or another. Thanks to the different templates that you can download for Google Docs, you have the possibility of being able to create different documents in a more professional way, without having to waste time creating different formats. This can be very important for most of us, since time is money and the more productive we are at work, the better results we will obtain.
