    Hi there,

    I was hoping that the Power BI team could consider bringing additional font formatting options into Power BI. So wherever there is an option to specify font size, colour and so forth, we should also be able to specify other options such as:

    * Bold
    * Italic
    * Underline
    * Strikeout

    Also I was wondering if it wouldn't be a good idea to allow users to highlight a specific part of a text to format it, instead of formatting the font for the entire object in question.

    I do not understand why this isn't already a thing. Content formatting is a huge thing for Executive audiences.

    I support this as well. Unbelievable that the ability to change from normal to bold font isn't already included in Power BI.

    Would be awesome to have markdown style formatting - Put special characters such as __italic text here__

    I want to be able to selectively bold the name of a row in a matrix.

    I'm very surprised this functionality doesn't exist - it would be amazing to have and save a lot of hassle of having to install new fonts
