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

You can specify custom fonts in the Theme json. Custom fonts in Power BI - everything you wanted to know! - Data Mozart (data-mozart.com) You'll need to ensure the font is installed on your user's machines.

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)

This is very much needed from an corporate compliance perspective.

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.

Please add the ability to specify a custom global font (including text boxes).
