CAUSE:
This is a current limitation of Strategy Dashboard (Data import). The fonts cannot be modified in the Dashboard interface or Data Import wrangle.
 
WORKAROUND:
Import data and save as a cube, create a report from the cube and then change the data font of the report.
Then create a Dashboard from this report whose fonts have been modified as you wish.
