Amazon QuickSight now supports font customization for visuals

Amazon QuickSight now supports the ability to customize fonts across specific visuals. Authors can now completely customize fonts for Table and Pivot table, while for remaining visuals they can customize fonts for specific properties including title, subtitle, legends title and legends values.

Authors can set the font size(in pixels), font family, color, and styling options like bold, italics, and underline across analysis, including dashboard, reports and embedded scenarios. With this update, you can align the dashboard's fonts with your organization's branding guidelines, creating a cohesive and visually appealing experience. Additionally, the font customization options can help improve the readability and meet accessibility standards, especially when viewing visuals on a large screen.

Font customization for above listed visuals is now available in all supported Amazon QuickSight regions - US East (Ohio and N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Africa (Cape Town), Asia Pacific (Jakarta, Mumbai, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London, Milan, Paris, Stockholm, Zurich), South America (São Paulo) and AWS GovCloud (US-West).

This is exciting, is there a way to set a default for the account? That way every existing visual will change and all new visuals will be created with the default as well.

Best,
Eli

Hi,
very useful features! Thank you :slight_smile:
It is also possible to add new font family (eg. Arial, Times New Roman) into QuickSight?

Hi @Brett,
thank you
I would like to add new fonts in QuickSight. Currently, I can’t find this option.

Hi @Thanh-Binh.Ngo,
I’m sorry, I misunderstood your original question; while this feature update allows you to change the font family on visual areas that in the past were not available, you do not have the ability to add additional font formats.
There is a much more detailed breakdown of the new formatting options here.

If you’d like to make a feature request to add custom font options in to QuickSight, you can visit the community here and create a new topic with that request!

Thank you!
