How to Replace the MV Boli Font in Windows 11

In a previous article, I covered how to replace the MV Boli font in older versions of Windows. As technology evolves, so do the methods we use to customize our systems. Today, I'm updating that guide for Windows 11.

Replacing the MV Boli font in Windows 11 is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to refresh your system with a new font, such as the Faruma font.

Step 1: Download a New Font

First, find a font that you like and download it from a trusted source. For this example, I'll use the Faruma font.

Step 2: Install the New Font

To install the new font, open the Command Prompt and navigate to the directory where you downloaded the font. Use the command:

cd /path/to/font/download

Then, install the font using the appropriate command, replacing `/path/to/font/download` with the actual path where you downloaded the font and `install_font.exe` with the name of the font installation tool or the font file name (if it's a .ttf file).

Step 3: Set the New Font as the Default

To set the new font as the default for the Dhivehi language, go to:

Settings > System > Display > Fonts

Select the new font as the default.

Alternatively, you can use the following command in the Command Prompt:

reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes" /v "MS Mincho" /t REG_SZ /d "Faruma" /f

Replace `Faruma` with the name of the font you want to use.

Note:

You may need to restart your system after making these changes to apply the new font settings.

By following these steps, you can easily replace the MV Boli font in Windows 11, enhancing your system's appearance and functionality. If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out!
