Custom font style

Hello everyone,

 

I recently changed the font style of my reports to a custom font style(fugue). 

I noticed that the y and x axis style on my bar graphs can't be changed to my custom font style.It is not even in the list of font styles.

 

Please help me solve this.

Hi

 

I also had this problem where I needed a custom font for an academic document. Adding the following to the theme JSON helped (my custom font was CMU Serif)

 

"visualStyles":{
        "*":{
            "*":{
                "*":[{
                    "responsive":true,
                    "wordWrap":true,
                    "fontSize":11,
                    "fontFamily":"CMU Serif",
                    "titleFontFamily":"CMU Serif",
                    "secFontFamily":"CMU Serif",
                    "secTitleFontFamily":"CMU Serif"
                }]

@MorneBester that worked like a charm for me too. Thanks!!

For anyone using this - the .json needs importing before the chart is created, for the font to be available in the chart axis titles.

Hi, @Anonymous 

You can customize the Axis labels in Visualizations pane.

Please refer to Customize x-axis and y-axis properties.

 These are the font styles I can use for the visuals(X and Y axis).I can't seem to find the custom font style(fugue).
