    Hey Anonymous ,

     

    you have to make sure the font is exactly called how it's installed in windows. In the blog article mentioned it has to be "MiddleEarth" and not "Middle Earth" for example. For you it might be that "Proxima Nova" is registered as "Proxima Nova Rg". 

    To do that go to C:\Windows\Fonts and copy the exact naming of the font you want to use and paste it in the JSON.

     

    If you need any help please let me know.
    If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍
     
    By the way, I'm happy you read the right blog 😉

    Hi Anonymous, did you find a solution for the font rendering correctly when exporting? I have the same issue for ppt and pdf.

    Same as you, I have imported the custom font correctly and it displays correctly in Desktop and Service.

Hi Denis,

Thanks for the suggestion, but I am using the exact font name in the json as present in the windows, still it's not importing in the Power BI. Showing a default font.
