ios app does not render json theme font

Submitted by on ‎11-05-2018 11:49 AM

The font set in the json theme shows correctly in the desktop tool and in the web browser, but does not render correctly on the iOS app. I have tested by setting various visualization styles without any resolution.

 

*iOS app fully up to date

@eyebelieve,

I am unable to reproduce the issue in IPhone 6, my IOS version is 10.3.3, my Power BI app version is 16.8. And I am using this JSON file to change report theme. What is your IOS version? Do you use IPhone or IPad?

This issue is specifically for Calibri font.

I am using an iPad. iOS version 11.4.1

My iPad Power BI App is version 16.8

@eyebelieve,

I got response from PG that some fonts are not supported on iOS devices, per Apple. Please render the Power BI report on the device browser (Safari) and compare the results.

@eyebelieve,

I got response from PG:

"Please double check if your IOS actually has this font installed. We currently don't support importing font files. One solution might be to just specify a fall back font. Calibri is Microsoft font and usually comes with an Office. "

Hello Lydia - I am aware we are unable to support font files, but are you saying that the out of box Power BI font choices also have to be a font installed on  one's machine/tablet/etc.

 

On one test machine where Calibri is installed, the report renders with Calibri font as expected. 

On the other test machine and iPad without Calibri, the report does not render Calibri. 

 

If I install Calibri font and then open the report again, should I expect to see it render?

@eyebelieve,


Yes. To render the report as expected in Safari of your IPad, you would need to install Calibri font on the IPad device.
