I walk through the new Google Fonts support added in Tableau 2024.3, which is currently available only in Cloud Web Authoring. I show how to access the font options via the format pane, run through the specific new fonts on offer, and demonstrate how swapping fonts can lift the look of a dashboard.

## Key takeaways

- Google Fonts support in Tableau 2024.3 is limited to Cloud Web Authoring, not Tableau Desktop.
- The reliable way to change fonts is via Format then selecting the workbook, which opens a formatting pane to set fonts for titles, tooltips and everything in one place.
- The new fonts include Lato, Montserrat, Noto Sans variants, Open Sans, Oswald, Poppins and Raleway, with Roboto being a solid all-round choice.
- This release adds first-time support for Arabic, Hebrew and Devanagari scripts in the cloud.
- Simply changing a font can make a dashboard look more polished and impactful without much extra effort.
