In most of the charts the X and Y Axis are hard to read because the font size is quite small specially when you have large scale of data

Please add adjustable axis font size otherwise the product is near useless.

RE: Change font size for X-Axis and Y-Axis

Hello PowerBI support,

Since font size of labels on X and Y axes can't be customized, the visualizations become illegible.
At least I would expect that labels on the X and Y axes are the same size as set for the data labels.
Thanks for fixing it with the next release.

Well at least I'm not crazy. I thought I just couldn't find it.

RE: Change font size for X-Axis and Y-Axis

I cannot believe this is so far down the list of items to vote on. I had to get through 4 pages to find it! Having software like this shouldn't even need to have an issue like this voted on. The labels are such a problem right now that I couldn't effectively recommend continued usage of Power BI to my colleagues until its fixed. It should be considered a basic but high priority.

RE: Change font size for X-Axis and Y-Axis

I have used a HTML embed of width="680" height="510" and the axis become unreadable unless you click the "Focus Mode" button on the top right. It would be great if there was away to default enable the Focus Mode when the embed is displayed.

RE: Change font size for X-Axis and Y-Axis

This feature is necessary to provide readable charts; default font is too small.
