Some of these features are language resources like language packs or handwriting support. On organization-owned devices, you can control access to these other features. You can use group policy or mobile device management (MDM) policies to hide the UI from users, or use Windows PowerShell to enable or disable specific features.

-# How to add fonts that are missing after upgrading to Windows client
-
-*Applies to:*
-
-- Windows 10
-- Windows 11
-
-When you upgrade from the Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1 operating system to Windows 10 or Windows 11, certain fonts are no longer available by default post-upgrade. To reduce the operating system footprint, improve performance, and optimize disk space usage, we moved many of the fonts that were previously shipped with prior versions of Windows to the optional features of Windows client. If you install a fresh instance of Windows client, or upgrade an older version of Windows to Windows client, these optional features aren't enabled by default. As a result, these fonts appear to be missing from the system.
-
-If you have documents created using the missing fonts, these documents might display differently on Windows client.
-
-For example, if you've an English, French, German, or Spanish version of Windows 10 installed, you might notice that fonts such as the following are appear to be missing:
-
-- `Gautami`
-- `Meiryo`
-- `Narkism/Batang`
-- `BatangChe`
-- `Dotum`
-- `DotumChe`
-- `Gulim`
-- `GulimChe`
-- `Gungsuh`
-- `GungsuhChe`
-
-If you want to use these fonts, you can enable the optional feature to add them back to your system. The removal of these fonts is a permanent change in behavior for Windows client, and it will remain this way in future releases.
-
-## Adding language-associated features via language settings
-
-If you want to use the fonts from the optional feature and you know that you'll want to view Web pages, edit documents, or use apps in the language associated with that feature, add that language into your user profile. Use the Settings app.
-
-For example, here are the steps to install the fonts associated with the Hebrew language:
-
-1. Select **Start > Settings**.
-
-2. For Windows 10, in **Settings**, select **Time & language**, and then select **Region & language**.
-
- For Windows 11, in **Settings**, select **Time & language**, and then select **Language & Region**.
-
-3. If Hebrew isn't included in the list of languages, select the plus sign (**+**) to add a language.
-
-4. Find **Hebrew**, and then select it to add it to your language list.
-
-Once you've added Hebrew to your language list, then the optional Hebrew font feature and other optional features for Hebrew language support are added. This process should only take a few minutes.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> The optional features are added by Windows Update. You need to be online for the Windows Update service to work.
-## Add optional fonts manually without changing language settings
-
-If you want to use fonts in an optional feature but don't need to search web pages, edit documents, or use apps in the associated language, you can add the optional font features manually without changing your language settings.
-
-For example, here are the steps to add the fonts associated with the Hebrew language without adding the Hebrew language itself to your language preferences:
-
-1. Select **Start > Settings**.
-
-1. In **Settings**, select **System**, and then select **Optional features** (if on a version older than Windows 10 22H2, navigate to **Settings > Apps > Apps & features > Optional features** instead).
-
-1. If you don't see **Hebrew Supplemental Fonts** in the list of added features, select the plus sign (**+**) to add a feature.
-
-1. Select **Hebrew Supplemental Fonts** in the list, and then select **Add**.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> The optional features are added by Windows Update. You need to be online for the Windows Update service to work.
-## Fonts included in optional font features
-
-Here's a comprehensive list of the font families in each of the optional features. Some font families might include multiple fonts for different weights and styles.

+# How to add fonts that are missing after upgrading Windows
+
+
+
+When Windows is upgraded from older versions of Windows to currently supported versions of Windows, previously available fonts might no longer be available post-upgrade. Many of the fonts that were previously shipped with Windows were moved to the optional features of Windows to:
+
+- Reduce the operating system footprint.
+- Improve performance.
+- Optimize disk space usage.
+
+ In the following instances:
+
+- A fresh instance of Windows is installed
+- Windows is upgraded from an older version of Windows
+
+optional fonts aren't enabled by default. As a result, these fonts are missing from the system. If documents were created using the missing fonts, these documents might display differently in the updated version of Windows.
+
+For example, if an English, French, German, or Spanish version of Windows is installed, fonts such as the following are missing:
+
+- `Gautami`
+- `Meiryo`
+- `Narkism/Batang`
+- `BatangChe`
+- `Dotum`
+- `DotumChe`
+- `Gulim`
+- `GulimChe`
+- `Gungsuh`
+- `GungsuhChe`
+
+If these fonts are needed, you can add them back to your system via optional features. The removal of these fonts is a permanent change in behavior for Windows, and it will remain this way in future releases.
+
+## Adding language-associated features via language settings
+
+If fonts associated with a language are needed across the system, then that language should be added to the user profile followed by switching to that language. For example, the fonts are needed to:
+
+- View web pages.
+- Edit documents.
+- Use apps in that language.
+
+Adding a language and then switching to it can be done via the **Settings** app.
+
+To install the fonts associated with a language and then switch to that language:
+
+::: zone pivot="windows-11"
+
+Open the **Language & region** pane in the **Settings** app by selecting the following link:
+
+> [!div class="nextstepaction"]
+> [Language & region](ms-settings:regionlanguage)
+
+::: zone-end
+
+::: zone pivot="windows-10"
+
+Open the **Language** pane in the **Settings** app by selecting the following link:
+
+> [!div class="nextstepaction"]
+> [Language](ms-settings:regionlanguage)
+
+::: zone-end
+
+or
+
+1. Right-click on the **Start** menu and select **Run**.
+
+1. In the **Run** window, next to **Open:**, enter:
+
+ ```console
+ ms-settings:regionlanguage
+ ```
+
+ and then select **OK**.
+
+or
+
+::: zone pivot="windows-11"
+
+1. Right-click on the **Start** menu and select **Settings**.
+
+1. In the left hand pane of the Settings app, select **Time & language**.
+
+1. In the right hand **Time & language** pane, select **Language & region**.
+
+1. In the right hand **Time & language > Language & region** pane, under the **Language** section:
+
+ 1. Drop down the menu next to **Windows display language** to show all of the languages currently added to the device.
+
+ 1. If the desired language isn't listed, add the fonts for the desired language by selecting the **Add a language** button next to **Preferred languages**.
+
+ 1. In the **Choose a language to install** window that opens:
+
+ 1. Find the desired language by scrolling through the list of languages. Alternatively, search for the desired language in the **Type a language name...** search box.
+
+ 1. Once the desired language is found, select the language, and then select the **Next** button.
+
+ 1. In the **Install language features** window, select the desired options for the language, and then select the **Install** button.
+
+ 1. The desired language should now be available in the drop-down menu next to **Windows display language**. Drop down the **Windows display language** menu and select the desired language.
+
+ 1. Below **Windows display language** the message **Windows needs to sign you out in order to apply your new display language.** is displayed. Select the **Sign out** button to finish applying the language including the additional language fonts.
+
+::: zone-end
+
+::: zone pivot="windows-10"
+
+1. Right-click on the **Start** menu and select **Settings**.
+
+1. In the Settings app, select **Time & Language**.
+
+1. In the left hand pane, select **Language**.
+
+1. In the right hand **Language** pane, drop down the menu below **Windows display language** to show all of the languages currently added to the device.
+
+1. If the desired language isn't added, add the fonts for the desired language by selecting the **+** button next to **Add a language**.
+
+1. In the **Choose a language to install** window that opens:
+
+ 1. Find the desired language by scrolling through the list of languages. Alternatively, search for the desired language in the **Type a language name...** search box.
+
+ 1. Once the desired language is found, select the language, and then select the **Next** button.
+
+ 1. In the **Install language features** window, select the desired features for the language, and then select the **Install** button.
+
+1. The desired language should now be available in the drop-down menu below **Windows display language**. Drop down the **Windows display language** menu and select the desired language.
+
+1. The following message is displayed:
+
+ > **Setting Windows display language**
+ > **Windows needs to sign you out in order to fully apply the new language. Continue?**
+
+ Select the **Yes, sign out now** button to finish applying the language including the additional language fonts.
+
+::: zone-end
+
+> [!NOTE]
+>
+> The optional features are added by Windows Update. You need to be online for the Windows Update service to work.
+
+## Add optional fonts manually without changing language settings
+
+If fonts associated with a language are needed but aren't needed across the entire system, then that language should be added to the user profile as a supplemental font. Adding a font as a supplemental font doesn't require the user switch to that language. Adding a font as a supplemental font can be done via the **Settings** app.
+
+To install supplemental fonts associated with a language while staying with the current language:
+
+Open the **Optional features** pane in the **Settings** app by selecting the following link:
+
+> [!div class="nextstepaction"]
+> [Optional features](ms-settings:optionalfeatures)
+
+or
+
+1. Right-click on the **Start** menu and select **Run**.
+
+1. In the **Run** window, next to **Open:**, enter:
+
+ ```console
+ ms-settings:optionalfeatures
+ ```
+
+ and then select **OK**.
+
+or
+
+::: zone pivot="windows-11"
+
+1. Right-click on the **Start** menu and select **Settings**.
+
+1. In the left hand pane of the Settings app, select **System**.
+
+1. In the right hand **System** pane, select **Optional features**.
+
+Once the **System > Optional features** pane is open, add a supplemental font with the following steps:
+
+1. Select the **View features** button next to **Add an optional feature**.
+
+1. In the **Add an optional feature** window that opens:
+
+ 1. Find the desired supplemental font to add and then select the box next to the supplemental font to add it. Multiple supplemental fonts can be selected.
+
+ 1. Once all of the desired supplemental fonts are selected, select the **Next** button.
+
+ 1. Review the selected list of features and then select the **Install** button to add the selected features.

Adding a font as a supplemental font doesn't require the user switch to that language. Adding a font as a supplemental font can be done via the **Settings** app.
