If you’ve recently downloaded a new font for Cricut Design Space and it’s not showing up, don’t panic—it’s a super common issue! The trick? Refreshing Cricut Design Space. But what does that mean, and how do you do it? Let’s break it down.
Why Refreshing Cricut Design Space Matters
Cricut Design Space doesn’t automatically load new fonts or changes from your computer until it’s refreshed. If you’ve just downloaded a fun new font (maybe from Creative Fabrica or another favorite site), you’ll need to give Design Space a little nudge to recognize it.
Refreshing is like reloading a webpage—it ensures all your design tools and resources, including that shiny new font, are ready to use.

Completely exit the app. This ensures all new fonts or updates are recognized when you reopen it. - Restart Design Space
Open Cricut Design Space again. Once it’s up and running, your new fonts should now appear in the font dropdown menu. - Still Not Showing?
Double-check that your font is installed correctly on your computer. Restart your device if needed, then repeat the steps above.
