How can we improve Power BI?

← Power BI Ideas

Customize all fonts with JSON

It would be great if we could customize font by importing a JSON file in addition to being able to customize color.

    Please add the capability to install fonts. This will help comply with company guidelines. Thank you

    Since custom installed fonts may have a different number spacing, it might get hard to read the data out of tables and other visuals where values are displayed among each other. So please ensure, that the OpenType feature "number spacing" --> "tabular" is supported, when implementing this feature. By using this OpenType feature, digits are enforced to be displayed exactly among each other improving the readability.

    Please add custom fonts in order to comply with company's font styles. Office supports this, would be great if Power BI could do so.

    It is impossible to create a style guide that complies with our company's branding without being able to customize the fonts.

    It would be good to customize the Font according to need while developing the report itself. Later if we need to change it due to some business standards, then it incurs more effort and time.

    Yup, this is much needed update.

    Also:

    - changeable color for selected slicer (currently black as default).
    - matrix column width possible to be set in numbers (now you need to have good eye and better hand to set all same width)

    The limited family of fonts on Power BI means I can't follow my corporate visual guidelines even though our corporate font is included as standard in the other MS applications.

    For most fonts embedding them into PowerBI would mean violating their license, as most fonts aren't licensed to be used on the web. But I agree that if we bought the corrrect license for a font we should be able to add it somehow. Most companies have brand guidelines with specific fonts. Currently we can only add these fonts using custom visuals and embed the font as a data-uri in the less file. But it's a lot of work to rebuild each visualization from scratch just to include a font.

    Can you manipulate size, font, and color of titles so they come back the same each time? I was able to do this with my legend but not my title?
