*Update: Unfortunately Tableau Public will not save your font type, it will probably resort to New Times Roman or something. Let me know if this has helped you or you have anything to say by contacting me on my twitter: or on my Linkedin. This is a handy tip if you want to really theme your visualisations. At this point you can open up Tableau (or re open Tableau if you had it open before you installed the font) and you should be able to change the font to your newly installed one, in this case my font was called ‘Rick and Morty’: Right click on one of the fonts and select Install. You might have to unzip the file, once that’s done the file format should be ttf indicated by the arrow below.
Once you found a font you like and it has the option to be downloaded, go ahead and download it. So this blog will show you how you can use downloaded fonts in your vizzes.
However there are fonts which can be obtained online from sites such as Google fonts, and chosen well, can really help enhance the look of your visualisation. Tableau’s normal fonts weren’t going to do the trick. So I opted to use a font which would fit that. I wanted the dashboard to be a bit more Rick and Morty themed.
It may take several days for your application to be reviewed.
