Hi @rufmau68 ,

Regarding your question, here are my test steps.

1.Download the fonts you need.

2.Copy the font to the following path and install it.

3.Modify the default style and export the theme in Power BI Desktop.(The exported Json file will only show the modified values, not the default values.)

All four options need to be modified.

Replace with the font name you want

4.Re-import the JSON file.

For details, please refer to the following article.

Hi @rufmau68 ,

I tested this font and it works fine. You can try the variant of 'Titillium Web' to see if it works fine.

Thanks but i try it and dont works.

{
"name": "Custom",
"textClasses": {
"label": {
"fontFace": "Titillium Web"
},
"callout": {
"fontFace": "Titillium Web"
},
"title": {

I'm trying the same, but with another font i downloaded from internet. The font, "ZapfHumnst BT" is already installed and i tried using in Microsoft Word, worked perfectly. I did all the steps, the name appears in BI but looking as Times New Roman. Here's my current .json file:

{
    "name": "Custom",
    "textClasses": {
    "label": {
    "fontFace": "'ZapfHumnst BT'"
    },
    "callout": {
    "fontFace": "'ZapfHumnst BT'"
    },
    "title": {
    "fontFace": "'ZapfHumnst BT'"
    },
    "header": {
    "fontFace": "'ZapfHumnst BT'"
    }
    }
    }

"ZapfHumnst BT" dont works? also if you have (previosly) installed on your machine ? wow bad think! so it seems that you can customize every fonts BUT noone works if are not one of defualt fonts preinstalled in PBI. No good... my first post il 6 months old and right now no good solution match with our needs. Where is Microsoft Support ? Our Microsoft Support dont give me good answers, just generic: You can. But then We cant ;-(

Stay tuned

thanks

bye

thanks @zedzen , i just tried it

works but works ONLY IF YOU HAVE that FONT INSTALLED on Local PC. Otherwise dont work.

And i need to use it in embedding / embedding for customer web solutions, where works BUT ONLY IF the user (in public web site: the citizen ?) have installed the font on owner local PC. 

This is the problem: why PBI offer an embedding solution but the full user experience IT'S NOT  

managed from PBI but needs that users install locally components ? its a non sense if users are on the world wide web, like in general purpose web sites, exposed on the WWW....

i dont know if I well explained the problem
