The Desktop version of Power BI does not have a Global Font Size option such as what is found in Excel.

What this Global Font Size would do is set the font size for any visuals added to Reports. The issue I have come across that this would address is that when I drag a field from the Fields area it creates a list; but, if I change this list to a Slicer, the font size increases by 2 points.

It would nice to have consistent font sizing throughout the Visuals experience.

I cannot believe Microsoft doesn't have default features for reporting. e.g. font size. You have to literally go through each item and resize it. It's terrible!

RE: Default Global Font Size

It would be quite helpful to have the option to change the default font size. The standard font size in Power BI is way too small (8 pt) which means that I almost always have to adjust the header and the value(s) for every visual created. I'm really not sure why this has to be so difficult and I'm honestly surprised that MS has not fixed this yet - it shouldn't be this difficult.

This is a must. We develop for various devices and the last thing you want to do is make people blind. Additionally, clean and consistent formatting ensures the audience can review result quickly and easily.

RE: Default Global Font Size

Our users are asking to have all font as Arial including items within filter visuals. It would be nice to be able to change the default font type and size to meet formatting standards and also to make it more AODA compliant..
