You can select a specific font size and apply it to your SAS Visual Analytics reports when creating a custom theme. However, the font size that you select in your custom theme might not be applied to text objects in your reports.

For example, you might encounter this issue if you complete steps similar to the following:

1. Create a sample report that contains a text object.
2. Go into the Manage Themes application and create a new Report Theme.
3. Click Choose Report and open the report with the text object that you created earlier.
4. Modify the Base font option on the Page Styles ► Global right menu and select your font (for example, Courier New and size 24):

5. Save and Publish the new theme.
6. Open the report in Edit mode and set the new report theme for this report.

Note: The font has correctly changed from the default to Courier New but the size (that you set to 24 in the custom theme) has not been applied.

This issue affects only text report objects. Other report objects are not affected.
