Default axis text formatting

Hi again

Posted this to the wrong forum, so am posting again.

I have formatted my Y axis text as Trebuchet MS regular 8. When I go to
change the alignment of the text, the text becomes distorted and
blurred.

I cannot find a way to stop it doing this.

Thanks

Emma

Default axis text formatting

Hi Emma -

That's a problem with trying to resolve fonts on a screen made up of
discrete pixels. If you deviate from horizontal or vertical, the fonts
don't look as good. Do they improve if you print them using a high
resolution printer (300+ dpi)?

How the heck do I plot 'my text' for the X axis? (instead of 1, 2, 3, 4 etc.) Tushar Mehta Charts and Charting 2 October 2nd, 2003 05:59 PM
