RE: Allow fonts to be customized

Edit the font and color of the card visualization so that it more easily integrates with text. Also, align the way that card visualizations look between the desktop and online apps. Right now, the card visualization renders several pixels lower in the online app than in the desktop app so everything looks wonky when I publish it.

RE: Allow fonts to be customized

Better yet, add custom palettes and fonts we setup and use those as defaults for elements on a reports/dashboards. We should still be able to change those, but at least let us Brand our work for our company without having to do it manually for everything!!

There are a limited variety of font styles to use in a text box, please add more like the handwritten font

RE: Allow fonts to be customized

This is a major usability issue. The lack of customization means that users cannot read the labels on the axes if they're sitting towards the back of the room. Also, this will cause issues for people with low visual acuity, and the low contrast between the light gray and the white background makes the contrast difficult to read.

RE: Allow fonts to be customized

Font sizing on graph axis is critical. The lack of the feature really limits the way that graphs can be uses for reporting. Also we really need fully customised number formatting as per Excel.

RE: Allow fonts to be customized

Please allow the following:

* Select font (arial, verdana, etc)
* Select formats: Bold, italic, underline, subscript, superscript, strikeout.

Also please ensure that we can change parts of the text. For example we might want parts of a text to be in red and other parts to be in blue, or only one part of the text to be in bold.

RE: Allow fonts to be customized

Why only grey colour available for font in text boxes?

Font sizing became defacto standard in 1984

RE: Allow fonts to be customized

The font of the chart title is one example. There are two requirements:
1. be able to control font size and style per report - for all charts
2. control the default title (an other) fonts for the whole reports or all reports.
