It seems there is a problem when certain font face is missing and we default to the incorrect font (SimSun) in the Desktop.

 

This however, does not affect the service (PowerBI.com). Once you publish the report, you should be able to see the correct font displayed there.

 

Meanwhile, we'll track this bug on the desktop and try to address it ASAP.

Hello, pqian for updating the information.

 

There are not this BUG in Power BI Service .. Yes, well japanese font.

and There are this BUG in Power BI Desktop .. Yes, at some points.

 

Some one uses Power BI Desktop with Power BI Service,
and Some one uses Power BI Desktop without Power BI Service.

 

I'm looking for fixing this BUG.

and I enjoy/share a lot of features of Power BI Desktop, Power BI Service.

@yoshihirok I was hoping that you could post a screenshot of the expected fonts (non bug version), so we can compare and verify the fix.

 

Also, if it's not too much trouble, can you verify PowerBI.com in Chrome too?

 

Thanks!

 

Hello, pqian.

 

This screenshot is OK.

Power BI Desktop version: 2.30.4246.181, 64bit, Dec/2015

OS: Windows 10 Home, 64bit

2016-02-10 17-27-20.png

 

The font face is OK - PowerBI.com by Google Chrome 48.0.2564.109 m on Surface Pro 4.

also OK - by Internet Explorer 11.

@yoshihirok

Ok Thanks! I had thought that this maybe the same issue as (http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Regional-number-format-delimiters-in-Europe-PowerBI-Desktop/... however, since both IE and Chrome can display the right font on PowerBI.com, this maybe a different issue.

 

I'd have to file a ticket and get this investigated separately. Thank you again for letting us know!
