You change the font attributes of a title or labels for aesthetic reasons or for practical reasons. For example, if the x-axis does not display all the labels, as shown in
Figure 8-63, reducing the font size of the Category (X) Axis labels is one way to solve the problem.
Figure 8-67 shows the effect of reducing the size of the labels on the
x-axis. All the city names appear.
The chart in Figure 8-67 also displays the
y-axis and legend labels in a smaller size than the same labels in the chart in
Figure 8-63. Typically, when you change the font attributes of labels in one area, you apply the same font attributes to labels in other areas, so that the labels in the chart have a consistent appearance.
