It would be great if we could customize font by importing a JSON file in addition to being able to customize color.

yes, adding customized fonts is a necessity.

'Yup, this is much needed update.

Also:

- changeable color for selected slicer (currently black as default).
- matrix column width possible to be set in numbers (now you need to have good eye and better hand to set all same width)

This is very much needed from an corporate compliance perspective.

The limited family of fonts on Power BI means I can't follow my corporate visual guidelines even though our corporate font is included as standard in the other MS applications.

RE: Customize all fonts with JSON

For most fonts embedding them into PowerBI would mean violating their license, as most fonts aren't licensed to be used on the web. But I agree that if we bought the corrrect license for a font we should be able to add it somehow. Most companies have brand guidelines with specific fonts. Currently we can only add these fonts using custom visuals and embed the font as a data-uri in the less file. But it's a lot of work to rebuild each visualization from scratch just to include a font.
