Changing Fontfamily for all shapes in Power BI (JSON file)

[itismie]

Hi

I have created a JSON file, with colors, fontfamily 'verdana', fontsize... and some other changes like the color of the filterpanel.

Now the standard  fontfamily in Power BI is "Segoe" and so text in every Shape stays on "Segoe"

I added a part for shapes in my JSON but the result stays the same.

"visualStyles": {"*": {"*": {

"title": [{"show": true,"fontColor": { "solid": { "color": "#ffffff" } },"background": { "solid": { "color": "#2e1749" } },"alignment": "center","fontSize": 11,"fontFamily": "Verdana"}],

"background": [{"show": true,"color": { "solid": { "color": "#ffffff" } },"transparency": 100}],"lockAspect": [{"show": true}],"border":[{"show": true,"color": { "solid": { "color": "#2e1749" } }}],"visualTooltip": [{"type": "Default"}],"stylePreset": [{"name": "None"}]          }  },

"shape": {"*": {"text": [{"fontFamily": "Verdana","fontSize": 11}] } },

Can anyone help we with this.

It seems to be very hard to change the overall FontFamily Segoe on a easy way trought the whole Power BI Report into Verdana

Hi @itismie, 

it's been a long time since your question but maybe this workaround could help you, to use a custom font in a shape.

Best regards!

Hi,

This is not a solution.  Because the fontfamily of the "text" in shapes remains SEGOE.

I can via the JSON file adapt the colors of the shapes, the borders, the fontfamily of the title, but the fontfamily of the "text" doesn't change, even when I write it down in my JSON file.  Maybe a bug in the system?

Hi @itismie ,

If you are trying to set font family for all shapes, I'm sorry I didn't find the right property to set it. I'm afraid you'll have to select the special shape and set them one by one in the report file. Maybe You can raise a new idea and add your comments there to make this feature coming sooner.

Hi @itismie ,

You can navigate to 'View' ribbon and click the themes dropdown to select 'Customize current theme'.  Then go to the 'Text' section in opening Customize theme window, you'll be able to change the default font family for all headers and text, including text within visuals...

In addition, you can create a customize theme file and import it in report file. You can refer the following video to achieve it.
