    Hi parvez221,

    Thank you for the follow-up question. You're right in your understanding. Currently, Power BI does not support custom fonts (like Forma DJR) for text elements such as titles, legends, data labels, axis labels, or column headers.

    Only the default fonts provided by Power BI are available for use across visuals and text-based elements.

    As you mentioned, you can create stylized text (using Forma DJR) in an external tool like Figma, Illustrator, or Photoshop, and then export that as a PNG/SVG image. You can then import this image into Power BI using the Image visual, typically for use as:

    • Visual headers
    • Section dividers
    • Backgrounds or decorative elements (e.g., in report wallpaper)

    However, this is purely static and won’t behave like actual Power BI text it will not resize dynamically or respond to slicers/filters.

    Here already raised a ideas forum threads regarding this thread so you can upvoting there: Custom Fonts support - Microsoft Fabric Community

    Or else we recommend to raise a ideas forum through the below mentioned link: Fabric Ideas - Microsoft Fabric Community

Thank you, v-kpoloju-msft, that was helpful. But I am not aware of the tools Figma or how to design in Photoshop.

 

The idea shared by MFelix was helpful, creating a dummy font and getting JSON, and updating it with the desired one.

 

But f]to do so, I need to have the font downloaded, so can you please help from where I can download the font to follow what MFelix suggested.
