How to control font size in chart formatting for consistence between graph and text

When inserting a chart into report, it is very important to control font size, especially when the chart size is predefined. Please see screenshot below

If no font size is specified, Cognos engine will choose a font based on chart size, which is normally not good enough to satisfy requirement. Actually, font size of all elements in chart can be specified, we can adjust different size to make chart to be compatible with the whole page.

  1. Hi there! The smaller font under each word tells the actual name of the font. The "sparkling" one is called Sweet Pea font and the link is: http://www.dafont.com/sweet-pea.font
    The clickable links to all of them are right under the image!
    Thanks!

  2. So how do we actually specify the font sizes of all elements in a chart? This post merely states that it is possible, not actually how to do it.
