Hi Anonymous ,
Have you tried other font? As far as I remember you need to use some "defaut MSFT" fonts. Something like Comic Sans, Abadi, Arial Nova....basically those which come with Microsoft Office 365 preinstalled.

Try some others and let me know.

Hi Migasuke 

I have the same issue here with a custom font 

I tried two scenario 

1- Use (Algerian) font which already installed with windows but not exist in power bi (this work fine without any issue)

2- Use ( DiodrumArabic-Light ) font which a custom font donwloaded and installed by my self ( this not working)

 

1- Algerian (Works Fine)

 2- DiodrumArabic-Light (Not working)

    Hi azaki,

     

    Try adding a double quote, then single quote "'DiodrumArabic-Light'"

     

    This has worked for me, for font "'Baloo Thambi 2 ExtraBold'", double and single quote used whereas vonly double quote was required for font "Roboto".
