Changing fonts

[Conrad]

Hi,

I'm looking for two things,
1.  To change the font to century gothic.  Which actually fonts work?
2.  To change the font family for the whole chart in one place.

Any help would be great.

To change a font to Century Gothic you can do the following (example shows how to change the chart title):

RadChart1.ChartTitle.TextBlock.Appearance.TextProperties.Font = new Font("Century Gothic", 15);

I think any font that can be created using System.Drawing.Font can be applied to the RadChart.

I don't think you can change the font family of the entire chart in one setting - you have to do each one separately.

Thanks but did try it and it didn't work.  The problem was that Century Gothic is not a standard win2003serv font.  Installed and now it is working!

So there is no css or quick way to skin a chart?  There are quite a few charts in the application and don't want to have to set each element for each chart.

I don't think there is a CSS way of defining a Chart (not one that I've found anyways) and aside from using the default Telerik skins and working around those you would have to follow this documentation article. I think the way the skins for RadChart works is similar to this example, it just does all the coding work for you.

Guys,

CSS will not work for RadChart. You can check the page html -- RadChart is an image, generated on the server, so no CSS can be applied. Still, here is another hint -- you can style one of the charts, save your custom skin to .xml file and load it for all the charts in the site. For more details see this help topic.
