+MonoGame supports more than one method of using fonts, the following is an explanation of how to use TrueType fonts.
+
+#### Using TrueType Fonts with MonoGame
+To be able to use a truetype font, MonoGame requires the truetype font file and a .spritefont file.
+Truetype fonts may be installed on the system, or added to the project manually using your IDE in the same directory as the .spritefont file.
+
+1. Create the .spritefont file.
+
+<p>

+</p>
+
+<p>
+<img src="images/adding_ttf_fonts_step_2.PNG"/>
+</p>
+
+2- Open the newly created .spritefont file in your text editor of choice, find this line and change it to your selected .ttf font.
+If the font is installed on the system, just type the name of the font.
+```xml
+<FontName>Arial</FontName>
+```
+
+#### Usage Example
+Make a class variable of type Spritefont
+```csharp
+SpriteFont font;
+```
+Load the font in the LoadContent function
+```csharp
+font = myGame.Content.Load<SpriteFont>("Fonts/myFont")
+```
+Draw any text in the Draw function
+```csharp
+spriteBatch.Begin();
+// Finds the center of the string in coordinates inside the text rectangle
+Vector2 textMiddlePoint = font.MeasureString(text) / 2;
+// Places text in center of the screen
+Vector2 position = new Vector2(myGame.Window.ClientBounds.Width / 2, myGame.Window.ClientBounds.Height / 2);
+spriteBatch.DrawString(font, "MonoGame Font Test", position, Color.White, 0, textMiddlePoint, 1.0f, SpriteEffects.None, 0.5f)
+spriteBatch.End();
+```
