Custom Fonts dissappears after a day

I imported a custom font (Raleway) by exporting into a json file and then using the font as a theme in power bi. it seems to be working but as soon as the next day rolls around and i log back into power bi. The custom font is then changed to whatever font it initially was before i changed the font in visual studio code to raleway. What do i do to solve this?

Hi, @nohhking 

Below is a sample structure of a JSON file containing Raleway fonts:

{
  "name": "CustomTheme",
  "visualStyles": {
    "*": {
      "*": {
        "fontFamily": "Raleway"
      }
    }
  }
}

Go to the View tab >> click Themes >> then select Browse for Themes >> select the JSON theme file with the Raleway font specification. Make sure the theme is applied correctly in all visuals.

Go to the View tab >> click Themes >> then select Browse for Themes >> select the JSON theme file with the Raleway font specification. Make sure the theme is applied correctly in all visuals. After applying the theme, save the Power BI report (PBIX file). Ensure that the Raleway fonts are available and installed on the system running Power BI. Sometimes, if custom fonts are not available on the local computer or Power BI service, they may not be retained. If the problem persists, try the following:
Reapply the theme: Manually reapply the theme each time you open Power BI Desktop.
Script automation: Consider creating a script that reapplies the theme when you open a report to automate the process.
Important: Make sure you have the Raleway font installed on your computer. Verify that the font name in the JSON file exactly matches the name of the installed font.
