    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

    Same as @Benjamin Swift....would like to be able to set a font for all objects and visualizations.
    Currently, I'm forced to use font sizes much larger than I'd like in order to make the axis and data labels legible from the back of the room. Setting the global font to something with a little more weight would be preferred.

    So changing font type in line with other Microsoft options would be great! Why is this not available yet? Seems like a basic requirement. Uploading own fonts would be even better

    Improve with the ability to add custom font downloading font files

    Mainly just looking to be able to set a custom font other than Segoe for ALL objects, but certainly would like to be able to set fonts other than Segoe on a visual-by-visual basis.

    RE: Allow fonts to be customized

    A monospace font option (e.g., Consolas) would be a great help, especially since Power BI is big on uniformity / consistency / symmetry.

    Please, allow us to add custom fonts like Aller. Many companies use a commom custom type of font to publish and do their dashs

    RE: Allow fonts to be customized

    For CI / CD - reasons it would be great having the option to change a visual's font.

    RE: Allow fonts to be customized

    I'm with Jon Fortner on this. Is it not possible to add custom fonts to Sharepoint/PowerBI etc? Would be great for branding
