Note : The Microsoft account used on the PC and the web app must be the same for the downloaded fonts to work.
Add Fonts Using Windows Settings
Step 1 : Press the Windows + I shortcut to launch the Settings App quickly > go to Personalization .
Step 2 : On the right pane, scroll down and click on Fonts .
The system will direct you to the available fonts window on your PC.
Step 3 : Click on one of your preferred fonts and note the font name.
Step 4 : Next, open any Office app like Word or PowerPoint.
Step 5 : Select the text from the document, type the font name (e.g., Agency FB) on the text box for font, and hit Enter .
The only disadvantage of this method is that the changes are not permanent. The new font face will remain for that particular document. However, if you plan to use it on a new Word document or PowerPoint slide, you’ll have to redo the above process again.

Office Online doesn’t support direct integration with external font libraries like Google Fonts. You’re limited to the fonts provided within the Office platform.
The availability of fonts may vary between the desktop and online versions of Office due to technical limitations and licensing agreements.
Stick to commonly available fonts within the Office Online ecosystem to ensure consistent appearance across various devices and platforms. Avoid using obscure or custom fonts that may not be supported universally.
