Fonts Not Displaying as Expected After Publishing to Tableau Public or Tableau Cloud

Publiceringsdatum: Nov 26, 2025
Beskrivning

When publishing a workbook to Tableau Public or Tableau Cloud, some fonts, such as Lucida Bright or Book Antiqua, do not display as expected.   

Cause

Tableau Public and Tableau Cloud support fonts officially licensed for our Linux servers. Other fonts cannot be guaranteed to display as expected, since browser rendering of fonts depends on fonts being installed on both the server and client devices and whether browser or server-side rendering is occurring.

Lösning

Because some fonts are not installed on the Tableau Public or Cloud servers, they may not render as expected in published views, including images rendered for subscriptions or exported via tabcmd and  REST API.  The fonts listed below are installed on the Tableau Public and Tableau Cloud servers and should display correctly in published views and in exported images. 

If the font selected in Tableau Desktop does not display as expected on Tableau Public or Tableau Cloud, but does appear on the list describing the fonts installed on Tableau Public and Tableau Cloud, then install the font locally and test the published workbook again. Please note that if a view uses the polygon mark type or the page history feature, server-side rendering is always performed.

Tableau Public and Tableau Cloud support the list of fonts below. Some fonts may need to be installed locally to display in the font selection drop-down or to draw correctly in the browser.

The default fonts installed on the client machine are different depending on the type of OS/versions and languages used. Some fonts are available only on some platforms. If you don't see the font in the drop down list in Tableau Desktop, it is most likely not installed on that machine.

The same goes for the Smartphone platform (Android/iOS) but instaling the custom fonts on the smartphones is generally more restricted and same font sets are often not available on the smartphone platform. It is generally recommended to use a common font.
