Segoe UI Bold JSON Bug?

[andrew5083]

I think there may be a bug when referencing Segoe UI Bold in JSON for Power BI Themes.

In the screenshot below, I'd like to have the column headers formatted as "Segoe UI Bold".  

The theme imports into Power BI successfully and the font shows as "Segoe UI Bold", but the column headers are formatted as some other font.  

If I change to a different font, then back to Segoe UI Bold, the column headers are formatted correctly.  Additionally, if I change the JSON reference to "fontFamily": "wf_segoe-ui_bold", this also works, but it displays the font as "wf_segoe-ui_bold" in Power BI, which I'd like to avoid.

Hi, @andrew5083 

I have reported this issue internally, ICM: 248292262

I will update here once I get any information.

Hi @andrew5083 ,

 Update theme file fontFamily to be as below. Please have a try.

"columnHeaders":[
               {
                  "fontColor":{
                     "solid":{
                        "color":"#4A588A"
                     }
                  },
                  "fontFamily":"'Segoe UI Bold',wf_segoe-ui_bold",

@v-xuding-msft, as I mentioned I'd like to avoid using that reference because:

If I change to a different font, then back to Segoe UI Bold, the column headers are formatted correctly.  Additionally, if I change the JSON reference to "fontFamily": "wf_segoe-ui_bold", this also works, but it displays the font as "wf_segoe-ui_bold" in Power BI, which I'd like to avoid.

Hi @andrew5083 ,

Sorry that I missed the important information. If you are urgent for this report, it is better to try "fontFamily": "wf_segoe-ui_bold". The report viewers will be not able to see it in Format through sharing by Power BI Service.

 And I've reported it to product group team. If there is any updates, I will post here.Thanks for your patience.

@v-xuding-msft thank you for reporting it!  I will try your suggestion in the meantime.
