Forma DJR Font
Hi,
Can anyone please help in understanding how I can download and install the Forma DJR font on the desktop?
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.

Hi parvez221 ,
For this you need to use a custom theme.

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum. Also, thanks to MFelix, for his valuable insights on this thread. Here I mentioned workaround that might be resolve the issue. Please have a look into it.
Power BI does not currently support using custom fonts (like Forma DJR) in visuals or reports out-of-the-box. You can only use the default set of fonts provided in the Power BI service and Power BI Desktop.
The current workaround is: Use Image/Text in SVG: You can design text in custom fonts (e.g., in Figma, Photoshop, or PowerPoint) and export it as an image (PNG/SVG). Then import that into Power BI using Image or SVG visual (e.g., via Deneb or HTML Viewer custom visuals).
Let me know what you find after giving these steps a try happy to help you investigate this further.
Thank you for using the Microsoft Community Forum.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.
