Issue: Custom font not appearing on Power BI Service page

[Anonymous]

We are creating Reports in Power BI, as per Customer Design System UI: Customer wants Power BI reports should be of Roboto Font.
we have a challenge unless we install the Roboto font on User machine the reports are not rendering Custom font(Roboto) from Power BI Service but end users cannot install Roboto fonts on their machines as per compliance.
we are using JSON template where we have mentioned the Roboto font for Visualization object properties.

Hi @Anonymous 

Although you can customize a lot in the theme file, you are not able to import custom fonts (yet).

There is an idea over at ideas.powerbi.com on which you can vote to have it included in a future release:

Thank you! for responding @Anonymous

We are able to import the theme and after installing the custom font on our system the reports are rendering the custom font mentioned in the JSON file. but users cannot install the custom font on their machine is there any work around?

Hi @Anonymous 

The premise of setting a custom font is that the font must be installed on your computer so that other programs can recognize the font. If the computer itself does not have this font, then there is no way to set a custom font, and even if it is set, it cannot be recognized .
