@Takeshi The formula bar seems to have the correct FONT FACE, but is aliased due to the size been too small. The legend font is indeed a problem that we did not discover previously.

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.

@yoshihirok Thank you for reporting this issue! Out of curiousity, can you post a screenshot of the EXPECTED fonts? So we can verify the issue is fixed. Was the december release OK? How about viewing the report on PowerBI.com?

[yoshihirok]

@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!

@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!
