A Windows application can use the fonts to render content to a screen, allow that content to be edited, and allow that content to be output to a device, like a printer. Here are answers to common questions about using these fonts.

Some of the fonts supplied with Windows were created specifically for Microsoft by leading type designers and type design companies (known as font foundries). Other fonts were licensed to Microsoft from font foundries for inclusion with Windows.

Unless you are using an application that is specifically licensed for home, student, or non-commercial use, we do not restrict you from selling the things you print and make using the Windows-supplied fonts.

The brief answer:If an application follows the rules and restrictions defined in the OpenType or TrueType specification, you can use it to embed Windows supplied fonts in any document file it creates. For example, Microsoft Word and PowerPoint follow the rules and restrictions, so you can use these applications to create documents (such as Word documents, PowerPoint decks and PDFs) that include embedded fonts.

Font files contain flags that indicate if and how they can be embedded within a document file. Applications that support document font embedding look at these flags and determine if and how it may be embedded in a document file, and when they open a document containing embedded fonts, they will also look at these flags to determine if and how a document can be viewed or edited.

If the applications follow the rules and restrictions documented in the OpenType and TrueType font specifications around document font embedding, you are allowed to use them to embed the Windows-supplied font. Please check the documentation associated with the application and document file format to confirm it is compliant with the OpenType or TrueType specs.

No, converting Windows fonts to other formats does not change the rules around embedding or redistribution, and format conversion itself is not allowed. Many Microsoft supplied fonts are available for app and game licensing through the original font foundry or Monotype.

Yes, you can (provided you're using a product that is not specifically licensed for home, student or non-commercial use). The graphic file must be an image of a word, phrase or passage of text. Converting the font to a bitmap font (where each letter is treated individually) is not allowed.

Apart from the document embedding rights described previously, you may not redistribute the Windows fonts. You may not copy them to other computers or servers, and you may not convert them to other formats, including bitmap formats, or modify them.

In most cases you will need to upgrade Windows to get the latest font updates. Occasionally, font updates will be available via the download center, most commonly to add currency symbols to common document and UI fonts.

This paragraph outlines what kind of usage is permitted with each kind of licensing that may be purchased.
