Fallback while it loads
Until Source Code Pro loads, this sets Courier New in its place at 100% of its size, so running text keeps Source Code Pro’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.

Questions about Source Code Pro
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list
Is Source Code Pro free for commercial use?
Yes. Source Code Pro is under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 , which allows commercial use at any scale, logos, websites, apps and PDFs included; a changed version may not be called “Source”.
How do I download and install Source Code Pro?
FontKind doesn’t host Source Code Pro’s files: it comes free from Google Fonts . On its page there, choose Get font, then Download all, and unzip the file. It holds two variable files, one for the uprights and one for the italics, and a static folder with a file per style: install one set or the other, not both. On Windows or a Mac, double-click each font file and choose Install, then restart any app that was open, Word included.
Is Source Code Pro in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Source Code Pro isn’t one of Microsoft 365’s cloud fonts. Installed, it is in Word’s font menu and PowerPoint’s. On Windows, its weights beyond Regular and Bold show as fonts of their own, such as Source Code Pro ExtraLight and Source Code Pro Black. For someone who hasn’t installed it, turn on Embed fonts in the file in Word’s save options: its licence allows that.
Is Source Code Pro in Google Docs?
Most likely. Search for Source Code Pro under More fonts in the font menu of Docs; added there, it is in Sheets and Slides too.
Is Source Code Pro in Figma?
Yes: Source Code Pro is in Figma’s font menu with all eight weights and their italics, in the browser and the desktop app, with nothing to install.
How many weights does Source Code Pro have?
Source Code Pro comes in eight weights, from ExtraLight (200) to Black (900), each with an italic. It is a variable font: it takes any weight from 200 to 900.
