Update, we will allow some custom fonts soon in mobile and paginated reports. 

With the June Desktop update, we now support updating your chart fonts to any of the fonts we currently support for textboxes. Learn more in our blog: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-june-feature-summary/#fonts We will be working on allowing you to use your custom installed fonts as well in a future release.

RE: Support for custom fonts

Power BI allows for some really powerful customized report/dashboard design. Unfortunately, this limitation of locally installed fonts only makes it impossible to deliver the design I envision. Most standard fonts are ugly and unfortunately that's all we get to work with. Please remove this limitation and allow us to use web fonts.

RE: Support for custom fonts

Wow! This is unbelievable! In 2024 we have now been waiting nine years to be able to make use of Windows built-in font capabilities within Power BI. Come on Microsoft! This is not rocket science.

RE: Support for custom fonts

Definitely need a custom font to use in presenting barcodes in a paginated report. This is possible in the Report Server version because it is on premise, it seems the cloud should be at minimum better than what the Report Server can do.

RE: Support for custom fonts

you can't say embedded powerbi supports custom fonts if you need a JSON workaround that only works if the user has the font installed. Companies have design style guides and branding guidelines, fonts are part of that identity.

RE: Support for custom fonts

Shouldn't have to resort to JSON trickery to get at other fonts. Can't we just add fonts to a report and have them available normally?

RE: Support for custom fonts

This should allow us to embed the custom font directly in the parquet file as a base64 string. That way we can import the font into the file itself without having to install it on everyone's machine.This also means we can have different fonts per report/dashboard and not rely on uploading it onto a server and rolling out the font company wide.Fonts that are UTF8/unicode compliant are really useful especially those that support ligatures sure as nerdfonts.
