FangSong is the standard typeface for Chinese government documents and formal printing, with slim upright strokes used in official letterheads and quotations.

Unzip the FangSong package to get .ttf or .otf files, right-click and choose Install for all users, then restart Word or WPS. Installing for the current user only means the font disappears when you switch accounts.
Check the file is a font rather than an archive, and that it installed into the right user profile. Look it up under Settings - Personalisation - Fonts on Windows, or Font Book on macOS, then restart the office app.
FangSong installs on Windows 7 and later and macOS 10.13 and later; on Linux drop it into the font directory and refresh the fontconfig cache. Mobile only applies inside apps that allow custom fonts.
The full weight set of FangSong is usually tens of megabytes and a single weight only a few. Installing only the weights you actually use keeps the footprint small with no effect on day-to-day typesetting.
PDF export can embed the font so readers never see missing glyphs. Web use needs a licence that permits distribution, and you should subset the font — shipping the whole file slows first paint badly.
Garbled output usually means a weight without the needed glyphs, or a document mixing several families. Select all, apply FangSong consistently, then check for missing characters; upgrading Office or opening in WPS often clears it.
