Aptose font

My supervisor has requested that i use the Aptose font family (the default font in O365) in all of our Power BI screens.  It is easy enough to download and use Aptose on Desktop, but will it work when i publish to the Service?

 

Note:  many of the screens will be consumed by users that do not have the Aptose font family on their local machines.  All of the end screens will be displayed using Edge or Chrome.  Several of the users will be outside of our domain, consuming screens on the wider internet.

 

Thanks for any help!

    Hi amartin141 

    It will work yes,

    The display of the visuals don't depend on machines, it's all in the cloud and using Edge is best recommended for Power BI service.

      Thank you.  Now I am not sure how to get power bi desktop to recognize the font.  I downloaded all of the Aptose ttf files and installed them as administrator, and they are recognized by worpad, but not power bi.  I think i've seen a video about this but not sure where it is.  I'll check Guy in a Cube
