Change Default Font Size in Power BI?

Question

New Power BI user here- I cannot sort out how to change the default font sizes on my visualizations...

Any help is appreciated!

Solution

There's no global default for font size right now. Each visual has its own options for font size.

Just in case you're not sure how to change the font size on a visual at all (I suspect you do but want to be thorough), select the visual and then:

1. Choose the Format tab of the visual
2. Choose which aspect you want to update (title, legend, and axis are common options for example)
3. Choose the font size

If a visual doesn't have an option for changing a particular font size, you're out of luck. For a custom visual, I'd recommend contacting the author of the visual.

If you'd like a global default font size in the future, there are a few ideas you can vote on that will let Microsoft know. Microsoft do pay attention and prioritize work based on who's voting for what, so I do recommend doing this:
