No, when you download a font you need to install the font first. You can do this via ‘Control Panel’ -> ‘Fonts’ -> ‘File’ -> ‘Install new font’. All you need to do then is to select the directory where you downloaded the font, click ‘Select All’ and ‘Ok’.

If this doesn’t work for you, you can also install the font manually by simply saving (or copying) the font file into your C:WINDOWSFONTS or C:WINNTFONTS directory (the name of this directory may vary depending on your Windows version).

But remember, for another person to see your font, they must have it as well.
