[Win8.1] Change global font + suggestions of font - Adolf Hipster - Sep 29, 2014
Im trying to change the "system" or global font of my computer.
I've tried doing the regedit method but it doesnt seem to work, names and such on folders on my desktop have the same font.
Any help?

There is no method to change fonts in Windows 8 and 8.1 like older Windows Versions where it was possible to change some fonts from "Advanced appearance settings" option present in Personalization window. You need to either configure fonts by modifying registry settings for fonts but changing registry may cause system un-stable. You can also use utility called "Windows 8 font changer" i never use it my self i found the download link for you and scan the "Windows 8 font changer" utility for malware looks clean.

The windows 8 font changer worked great.
Changed all my fonts to Roboto.

Will Experiment with some more fonts.
Got any recommendations for good looking fonts?
