    Today in a call with Microsoft, they confirmed that custom fonts are not supported in the Power BI service.

    Quote: "This is a limitation in Power Bi Service (Custom fonts are not supported in the Power BI service).

Couple of questions:  

 

* From the Service and Desktop, is the font substituted?   Export reports from Power BI to PDF

 

* From the Web Browser when printing, have you looked at Browser Font Settings?

Check out the Browser Fonts (assuming you are printing from a web browser), and choose to override the offending San Serif font with Swis721 BT.   This also supposes that you are not using a 3rd party PDF renderer for the PDF creation tasks.  Below we show a screenshot from Microsoft Edge and Font Settings:

 

Copy the following and paste into the address bar:  edge://settings/fonts?search=fonts
