Hi,

I'm using a process that render my visualize to Email base64 (body content)  
The problem is that I need to change the font family from Kibana, that display as

> font-family: 'Open Sans';

is there a way to custom/ manipulate **font-family** or **font-size** via Kibana/ ES?  
Also I'm curious if there's an open issue for it in upcoming version/s?

10x in advance

Hi,

I got help for this question and right now the only way you can do this is by either writing your own plugin or use a reverse proxy to switch out the css.

There are talks of letting users change fonts on Kibana but unfortunately we don't have a timeline for it. Sorry 🙂

Thanks,  
Bhavya

Hi @bhavyarm  
Tnx for the input !

I also saw [this](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/2207#issuecomment-309706183) forum that goes for a long time. No change so far  
`writing your own plugin or use a reverse proxy to switch out the css`  
**What do you mean? any tutorial/ how-to for this? ☝**

Hopefully it'll happen in the near future 👍  
10x in advance
