We are promoting use of PowerBI with numerous stakeholders in Vietnam. However Vietnamese characters do not appear correctly in the default font provided. Please make more fonts which display Vietnamese and other languages with special characters correctly.

Sinhala Unicode fonts are badly needed

Same goes with Lithuanian. Interestingly national letters show up correctly in, for example, Segoe and Segoe Light, but not in Segoe bold.

Guys, We are going to need this feature even inside Microsoft for our internal text mining for various countries writing to us in their local language. Currently, this is a big showstopper even for internal employees.. Please provide other encoding for various languages in PowerBI. Thanks,
