Custom fonts can be embedded to reports in the Power BI Service, however when exporting to PDF or PPT the Custom Font will not show up anymore. Please allow the export to keep the custom font so everything stays consistent.
Thanks!

RE: Export to PDF with Custom Font

It makes no sense that custom fonts available in PowerPoint cannot be exported to PowerPoint! So frustrating!

RE: Export to PDF with Custom Font

This being a 'Microsoft' product - ALL of the installed fonts on the computer ought to be enabled for the product and readily useable. Obviously it would be up to an organisation to ensure any additional fonts are embedded throughout the company, but both the limitation on fonts to a very particular set to begin with and the lack of integration with Power Point (given the time this issue has been ongoing after being reported) isn't really acceptable.

RE: Export to PDF with Custom Font

"When exporting to PDF , reports with custom fonts like Lato and Montserrat will have the custom font replaced with a default font."This is a terrible limitation. Allowing custom fonts, but restricting the ability to export it negates the ability to use said custom font. Please allow the export to keep the custom font so everything stays consistent.Thanks!

RE: Export to PDF with Custom Font

From the documentation:When exporting to PDF, reports using themes with custom fonts will have the custom font replaced with a default font.I think that a really nice feature would be too bring custom fonts to PDF / PNG export.

The ability to embed font styles in reports that are exported via PDF. Maintaining the look of a report is important and if a user doesn't have Segoe installed on their computer (i.e. Mac users) then the look of the report will change.

Embedded fonts would solve this issue.

RE: Export to PDF with Custom Font

We can import a custom Theme that uses Corporate brand Colors and Fonts, but then the 'Export to PowerPoint' falls back to default fonts.

To send final reports to Customers this is a 'must have' feature on PBI Service.

Please allow the export to maintain chosen font,

Thanks!

RE: Export to PDF with Custom Font

"When exporting to PDF (PPT and copy image), reports using themes with custom fonts will have the custom font replaced with a default font."

This is a terrible limitation. Allowing custom fonts, but restricting the ability to export it negates the ability to use said custom font. I can't use our organization's custom font because it exports to Times New Roman and so all the work that was done for all users to import custom fonts via themes goes to waste.

I agree that this is a must have feature. Companies currently or starts to rely on Power Bi more and more. That means having proper branding in all functionality will be vital.

Roboto is the most downloaded font. This needs to be added asap.

This is a significant issue. Power BI effectively does not comply with our Organisation's branding!
