At this moment it is no possible to add a custom font, that is not on the supported font list, to UAT and Production environments. It is only possible to add the custom font, that is not on the supported front list, to cloud hosted environments. This idea is to raise a petition to include the possibility to add custom fonts to UAT and Production environments.

We need this capability in the product. We are able to embed custom fonts in word and excel files used by Electronic reporting framework and generate the required output in pdf file by installing the custom fonts on the report server only on Tier 1 development machine. In order to achieve it on Tier 2 and higher environments we need to install custom fonts on AOS machine hosting report server. It seems like under the hood pdf rendering engine is still using SSRS libraries and has this dependency. This is a common scenario. Some of our big enterprise customers have marketing teams working on document branding for customer experience using custom fonts and not having this capability in the product seems very strange.

We have the same issue with a customer that uses the font EuroStile in all of his reports at this time but is now forced to make a change with the implementation of D365 F&O. They would be ready to switch to Futura or Proxima Nova, but also these two fonts are not supported.So I strongly support the idea of making custom fonts possible and would be happy if the product team could give any updates or thoughts on this topic. best regards Sebastian
