Here's how to find the fonts:

Click the blue New button to open a new Doc.

Open the Font Menu.

Once you are in the document, find and click the drop-down box that changes the font. Then, scroll to the bottom and click the option for More Fonts…

Add new fonts to your list.

Once you click More fonts... another menu with hundreds of font choices with appear.

To add additional fonts to your drop-down list, click the name of the font and it should turn blue and have a check mark next to it.

The newly added fonts should now be in the drop down menu for all of your Google documents!
