We have to install new true type font in SAP if there is a requirement to use non-standard SAP fonts. To install a new font in SAP follow the steps bellow

Here I am going to install ‘Calibri’ font in SAP. We can take the font from window font folder.
Calibri has 4 different types as bellow
Calibri
Calibri Bold
Calibri Bold Italic
Calibri Italic
Therefore create a font family and install all the four font types to in as shown below.
Also make sure that you have selected the Font attribute accordingly.
Calibri Normal installation
Calibri Bold installation
Proceed the same procedure for installing Calibri bold italic and Calibri italic.
Calibri bold italic Installation
Calibri italic installation
Now the font is installed with the different types.
You can verify the installation by following methods
1. Display font family.
2. For testing, create or Open a smartform style and check the new fort can be used in it.

Sandy,
really helpful blog, we can follow your steps to achieve this, thanks a lot.
nice blog,
BUT please note that the Screen for "RTF Font Info" is incorrect!
This can lead to problems, see SAP Note 2665858 - "Incorrect font is picked up when using Smart Styles in Text Modules or Standard Texts in Adobe Forms".
For adding new font to SAP you can also have a look at KBA1605966.
Thanks for answer & comments.
What about Printer fonts install?
We have installed Font Families in DEV & it is working as expected for smatforms while checking the output its not working.
Do we need to install the same as for Printer fonts as well.
