I can see how to setup a colour selector in capabilities, and have looked at VisualContracts.d.ts in the custom-visuals github repository and can see the StructuralTypeDescriptor definition there but it seems to only address colour fills. Is there a way to setup a font family selector in the custom visual I am developing?
Hello @Dave0145,
Power BI Custom Visuals API doesn't support font family in capabilities.
This feature is in our backlog, but we can't provide any ETA.

Now this font type capabilities available as a property in custom visual if so then how we can implement it.
Thanks
We'd recommend to use enumeration to define what font families custom visual supports.
"fontFamily": { "displayName": "Font family", "type": { "enumeration": [ { "displayName": "Default", "description": "helvetica, arial, sans-serif", "value": "helvetica, arial, sans-serif" }, { "displayName": "Arial", "value": "Arial" }, { "displayName": "Arial Black", "value": "\"Arial Black\"" }, { "displayName": "Arial Unicode MS", "value": "\"Arial Unicode MS\"" }, { "displayName": "Calibri", "value": "Calibri" }, { "displayName": "Cambria", "value": "Cambria" }, { "displayName": "Cambria Math", "value": "\"Cambria Math\"" }, { "displayName": "Candara", "value": "Candara" }, { "displayName": "Comic Sans MS", "value": "\"Comic Sans MS\"" }, { "displayName": "Consolas", "value": "Consolas" }, { "displayName": "Constantia", "value": "Constantia" }, { "displayName": "Corbel", "value": "Corbel" }, { "displayName": "Courier New", "value": "\"Courier New\"" }, { "displayName": "Georgia", "value": "Georgia" }, { "displayName": "Lucida Sans Unicode", "value": "\"Lucida Sans Unicode\"" }, { "displayName": "Segoe (Bold)", "value": "\"Segoe UI Bold\", wf_segoe-ui_bold, helvetica, arial, sans-serif" }, { "displayName": "Segoe UI", "value": "\"Segoe UI\", wf_segoe-ui_normal, helvetica, arial, sans-serif" }, { "displayName": "Segoe UI Light", "value": "\"Segoe UI Light\", wf_segoe-ui_bold, helvetica, arial, sans-serif" }, { "displayName": "Symbol", "value": "Symbol" }, { "displayName": "Tahoma", "value": "Tahoma" }, { "displayName": "Times New Roman", "value": "\"Times New Roman\"" }, { "displayName": "Trebuchet MS", "value": "\"Trebuchet MS\"" }, { "displayName": "Verdana", "value": "Verdana" }, { "displayName": "Wingdings", "value": "Wingdings" } ] } }

OK - thanks for letting me know @v-viig. I'll look forward to implementing that in my custom visuals once it is available.
