I tried with "Roboto" font but for roboto font also same thing is happening means it is not changing to roboto rather it is showing the font in "times new roman" font. For "Adelle" font also it is not changing and showing it in "times new roman" font.

Can you share your JSON file?

If the file is corrupted or set up wrong the font will not change.

    {"name":"Custom","textClasses":{"label":{"fontFace":"Adelle BS Office Regular"},"callout":{"fontFace":"Adelle BS Office Regular"},"title":{"fontFace":"Adelle BS Office Regular"},"header":{"fontFace":"Adelle BS Office Regular"}}}

     

    ==== Above is the JSON file code =====

      Hi Anonymous ,

      It seems not all fonts are availale in Power BI. I have tested several pre-installed fonts with your JSON and some are working and some not.
      Question is if it's intentional, but or I need to set up something on my desktop. Nevertheles, I don't see any logic behind.

        Have you ever gotten Karla font to work?  It seems to be one that doesn't work, even though I can get some other custom fonts not among the standard ones in Power BI to work with the same JSON script.
