Beautiful New Segoe UI Fonts in Windows 7
Sunday, May 3, 2009 at 9:14AM After I installed with the Windows 7 Release candidate, I discovered that Windows 7 comes with some additional variants of the Segoe UI font that first shipped in Vista. I love the Segoe UI (and original Segoe font) and so it’s nice to see that we now have more typographic options with Windows 7.
| IN VISTA | IN WINDOWS 7 | |
| Segoe UI (Regular) | YES | YES |
| Segoe UI Bold | YES | YES |
| Segoe UI Bold italic | YES | YES |
| Segoe UI Italic | YES | YES |
| Segoe UI Light | NO | YES |
| Segoe UI Semibold | NO | YES |
THE WINDOWS 7 FONTS CONTROL PANEL
Let’s take this opportunity to explore the new Control Panel UI for fonts …
First launch the Control Panel
Click Appearance and Customization
Click Fonts
Now we can see all the fonts on the system
There are many of them, so type “segoe” in the Search Fonts box in the upper right
And you’ll see the fonts with “Segoe” in their name.
Right-click on “Segoe UI” and select Open
And now you’ll see the name Segoe UI fonts
You can right click on each one and select Preview to see the font in Action…

Would have really helped if you would have supplied the files names that go with these fonts.
