Hello,
My reports in Desktop is showing the correct Arabic font , when I Publish the report to the service for the first time it is dispalying the correct Arabic font.
The issue comes when I refresh the report in the service , the Arabic font is showin as ??????? as in below screen shot
Hi
I did changed the data type for the field to Text (eventhough it was text only!!!!) , then saved and published the report and it is working fine.
Hope this will help others
Thanks to everyone
Hi @nadir ,
I can't reproduce your issue. Can you please share more details?
If you could post a dummy file, we can test it and find the issue easier.
Best Regards,

Thanks for your reply and sorry for my late reply.
1. I set the region settings for current file to Arabic Suadi Arabia
2. Regarding setting the data type to country or country/region , the data in this field is a text data which has the Tenant Name in Arabic , but eventhough I tried to change it but no luck.
3. As I explaind in my post , the data is correctlty displayed in Power Bi Desktop , the problem is only when I publish the report to the service.
4. I am connecting to SQL server data , will you please tell my how to share a dummy file from the data.
Best
