Download FreeSansBold.ttf Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying FreeSansBold.ttf to your appropriate Windows system directory. VideoLAN typically does not release VLC Media Player TTF files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing FreeSansBold.ttf and all other TTF files for VLC Media Player. An incorrectly installed TTF file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
