Questions about SUSE Mono
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list
Is SUSE Mono free for commercial use?
Yes. SUSE Mono is under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 , which allows commercial use at any scale, logos, websites, apps and PDFs included.
How do I download and install SUSE Mono?
FontKind doesn’t host SUSE Mono’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 SUSE Mono in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: SUSE Mono 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 SUSE Mono Thin and SUSE Mono ExtraBold. For someone who hasn’t installed it, turn on Embed fonts in the file in Word’s save options: its licence allows that.

Most likely. Search for SUSE Mono under More fonts in the font menu of Docs; added there, it is in Sheets and Slides too.
