Changelog

A short, honest log of changes to the Font Loft catalog. Smaller pack additions and metadata fixes happen continuously; this page calls out the visible ones.

Build of 2026-07-06

Added a Pointer Size & DPI Calculator — works out the right Windows "Mouse pointer size" slider value for your screen and scaling, linked from the install guide and the site footer.
Added a home-screen app manifest and proper icon set (192px, 512px, maskable, and Apple touch icon) so Font Loft can be installed as a standalone app on desktop and mobile.

Build of 2026-07-05

Site-wide maintenance pass: fixed a broken outbound link cluster, resolved a blank content section, corrected two page-purpose/on-page-standards issues, and removed a non-functional embedded tool.

Build of 2026-05-03 02:54

Catalog rebuilt from opengameart.org + curated — total of 108 packs across 10 themed collections.
Added per-artist pages so you can see everything a single creator has published, regardless of theme.
Switched all cursor previews to inline SVG so the homepage now loads in under one HTTP request per template after the initial CSS file.
Updated the install guide for Windows 11 24H2 (the new Mouse pointer size slider in Accessibility settings).

Earlier

Added the Holidays collection with a starter set of seasonal packs.
Reorganized the original "Other" bin into the current ten-theme taxonomy.
Started crediting artists by display name rather than handle.
First public version of the site, built on a single afternoon as a less-annoying alternative to the major cursor sites.

Install any cursor pack on Windows in two minutes

Every pack on Font Loft ships as native .cur and .ani files — the same formats Windows has used since 1995. There is no installer, no browser extension, and no background process.

Windows 10

Download the pack from the artist's source page and unzip it to C:\Windows\Cursors\<pack-name>\.
Press Win+R, type main.cpl, and press Enter to open the classic Mouse Properties dialog.
Switch to the Pointers tab. For each role (Normal Select, Link Select, Text, Busy, Precision…) click Browse and pick the matching .cur or .ani.
Click Save As…, name your scheme, and hit Apply to lock it in across reboots.

Windows 11 (incl. 24H2)

Open Settings → Bluetooth & devices → Mouse → Additional mouse settings, or use the same Win+R → main.cpl shortcut.
On the Pointers tab, browse to your unzipped folder and assign each cursor file to its matching role.
If a 4K display upscales the pack, drop the Mouse pointer size slider in Settings → Accessibility → Mouse pointer and touch to 1 so cursors render at native resolution.
Save as a named scheme — Windows 11 keeps schemes in HKCU\Control Panel\Cursors so you can swap them any time.
