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

This would be very useful for my workplace : we use a certain corporate font that is not currently supported by PBI. We have tried to incorporate it in a JSON file and use it though a custom report theme file, but it does not seem to work. A wider range of supported fonts supported by custom report themes would be extremely useful.

RE: Support for custom fonts

We really need this, as well as ability to set the theme in the MSI for Power BI Desktop so that our users are all starting with the correct brand colors and fonts.

RE: Support for custom fonts

It is important to have the ability to import fonts to use in Power BI.
Whilst we can match themes to a Business template we still cannot match fonts

RE: Support for custom fonts

When will support be added so we can use fonts available in word? Or will there be support and explanations for how to use google fonts through themes?

RE: Support for custom fonts

This aspect critical and important and it's strange that Power BI is not being able to read the MS Office fonts.

One reason could be the Power BI service might not have the font we use (customized for our organization) and once we publish the report - the server fails to render.

Power BI should find a way to embed the font and related configuration to be pushed on to the PBI services as part of the metadata of the report and render any font used by the user.
