With the June Desktop update, we now support updating your chart fonts to any of the fonts we currently support for textboxes. Learn more in our blog: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-june-feature-summary/#fonts We will be working on allowing you to use your custom installed fonts as well in a future release.

RE: Allow fonts to be customized

We need the ability to use custom font without installed font at client machine, since we can't use @import function in json to fetch the fonts from server itself.

RE: Allow fonts to be customized

Is there any update when we would be able to use standard fonts from Google? I see this was last responded to in June 2017, so it's nearly 3 years an no update?

RE: Allow fonts to be customized

we're deploying Power BI dashboards more and more for reporting on our county's COVID-19 response, and many of these reports will be public. But the standard fonts seem pretty out of place with our web design standards (we're mostly using Rubik) and it looks/feels a bit sloppy to use the other fonts. We're making due for now but importing custom fonts would certainly help here.

RE: Allow fonts to be customized

Since custom installed fonts may have a different number spacing, it might get hard to read the data out of tables and other visuals where values are displayed among each other. So please ensure, that the OpenType feature "number spacing" --> "tabular" is supported. By using this feature, digits are enforced to be displayed exactly among each other improving the readability.

I am after Century Gothic as a font. When will importing be allowed?

RE: Allow fonts to be customized

Agreed, need to be able to import custom fonts to support organisation branding. This includes when reports are published to the report server.

RE: Allow fonts to be customized

When will custom font's be an option. My company has a specific font that we use for symbols.
