Theme fonts are the default body and headings fonts used in your document.

To view the entire list of Office fonts that are available, see the article Cloud fonts in Office. If you use Office fonts in your document then the documents will render as expected on every device and platform supported by Office.

Office fonts are cloud fonts that are available on every device and platform supported by Office. For example, a font you pin in Word won't also be pinned in PowerPoint. However, each Office app keeps its own set of pinned fonts. Pinned fonts will follow you on every device and platform where modern font picker is available. You can add and remove pinned fonts from this list. Several fonts are pre-pinned in the list. You can pin whole families or individual styles.

Pinned fonts appear near the top of the font list and grouped together in the Pinned Fonts section for faster access to your frequently-used fonts. This section is dynamic, so as you use different fonts, the list and the order of the fonts in the list will change accordingly. When you open an existing document, modern font picker lists all the fonts in the document in the Most Recently Used section. The Most Recently Used section lists the 10 most recently used fonts in reverse chronological order (last to first), except that theme fonts are always at the top. Likewise, if Korean is your primary language, you'll see 바탕 rather than Batang. For example, if your browser use Japanese as its primary language, you'll see ＭＳ明朝 listed in modern font picker rather than MS Mincho. If Chinese, Japanese, or Korean is your primary browser language, you'll see localized fonts names for fonts that support Chinese, Japanese, or Korean names. True styles will always render the same on all devices, but synthetic styles may render differently on different devices. Where a font has the true bold or italic style, such as Calibri, you see the font name without the parentheses when you apply the bold or italic style from the ribbon, although you could also select the style from the font picker. The parentheses indicate that italic style has been applied from the ribbon and Office has used a synthetic style because no true style is available. If you apply italic from the ribbon, you'll see the name Abadi (italic) in the font picker combo box. For example, the font Abadi doesn't have an italic version available. With modern font picker, you'll now see when a synthetic style has been applied. Previously, when you applied bold or italic styles from the ribbon, Office applications applied synthetic versions of those styles when no true bold, italic, or bold italic version of the font was available, but you had no way to tell if a synthetic version was applied. You'll see different sections for Most Recently Used, Pinned Fonts, and Office Fonts that you can easily hide when they're not needed.
