Best Answer

The fonts hold Holy Water so that congregants can bless and exorcise themselves as they enter church for Mass.

Some Catholic Churches may also have their baptismal font in the back of the church. However, most churches today have the font in the front of the church.

Why is the font always at the front of a church?

This is so that one may bless oneself with holy water, removing venial sin from ones soul, and preparing one to enter into the Holy presence of God. The font is at the back of the Church- the Alter is at the front. If the church is oriented (that is, the sanctuary is in the eastern end and the entrance in the west) the font is usually found in the west.

How you can install any fonts in the Microsoft Word?

You don't really install fonts for Word, you install fonts for Windows. These fonts are then available for ANY program installed on your computer. Font files usually have an extension TTF (this means it is a font file of the "TrueType" kind). Just copy the font files to the Fonts folder in Windows. Note that font files may be subject to copyright, so if you didn't pay for it, possibly you don't have the right to use it.
