Fonts are extremely important for data visualization because they are key to communicating a message quickly and easily. Allow users to specify a default font in visuals and text boxes just like colors for themes.

Being able to specify font families and even sizes would be a huge time saver and improve consistency. Being able to specify kpi-title: 12px, arial; would streamline so much

RE: Allow the creation of Font Themes

Based on your business corporate policy, they may ask that all default font be something other than the default Power BI font. Having to select a font family for the entire report helps the end user to focus on reports. I would say there needs to be a default font family and color for the entire report, as well as default title color/font family, and table/matrix color/font family.

RE: Allow the creation of Font Themes

Yes! Just like with colors, I think every visualization should have a "default" font family. And, as part of a Power BI Theme, we should be able to specify the font family to which it defaults.
