Hi @Anurag, we aim to consistently improve the topics being posted on the forum to help you in getting a strong solution faster.

  • When posting a topic with formula make sure that it is correctly formatted to preformatted text </>.

  • Include the masked demo pbix file, images of the entire scenario you are dealing with, screenshot of the data model, details of how you want to visualize a result, and any other supporting links and details.

I also suggest that you check the forum guideline How To Use The Enterprise DNA Support Forum.

Not adhering to it may sometimes cause delay in getting an answer.

Hi @Anurag

Two things spring to mind here as it looks like the font that Power BI is displaying in your screenshot is times new roman:

  1. You don’t have that font installed on your system, or
  2. you’ve encountered the last caveat as mentioned in this article Custom fonts in Power BI - everything you wanted to know! - Data Mozart (data-mozart.com)

Hopefully, you can get things going from here :slight_smile:

Kind regards
Stephen

Did you see this note in the article and apply the workaround as suggested?

One more important thing to keep in mind : if you manually change the font of the visual once you open your .pbix file, BEFORE importing the theme, and then import the theme, changes will not be applied! I don’t know if it is a bug or what, but let me show you what’s the issue:

@Anurag

The theme generator mentioned in the article would give you a custom set of JSON which you could then modify to match what you’re wanting to do. It looks like it covers the areas you want to customise.

Power BI Theme Generator

Otherwise, I’d recommend the MS Documentation to find the JSON field you need to add - it’s an extensive list of options…

Let us know if this helps.
