Custom font is showing differently in the report

Hi,

 

I have imported JSON file for customized theme. There is a custom font "Roboto" which i want to use across the report and mentioned it in the JSON file. However, it is not in correct type when using "Roboto" in the report.

This is the sample part of theme :

 

{
"name": "PBI Theme",
"textClasses": {
"label": {
"color": "#D0D6DD",
"fontFace": "Roboto",
"fontSize": 12
},
"callout": {
"color": "#D0D6DD",
"fontSize": 14
},
"title": {
"color": "#D0D6DD",
"fontFace": "Roboto"
},
"header": {
"color": "#D0D6DD"
}
},

 

The roboto font is also there in the formatting pane:

But when applying it on the visuals, it has different font which is actually Times New Roman. 

This is the correct font :

Is there anything wrong i am doing here or Power BI doesn't support it or any possible bug in Power BI Desktop?

Please suggest.

 

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous !
I'm not entirely sure, but I think you JSON is not correct.

Please refer to this post about custom fonts for Power BI.

Let me know if that helps!
