Font dialog box
The Font dialog box (Figure 241), which opens when you select
Fonts
on the
Display
Layout Axes
tab page, determines the font that will be used for the data window axis
labels and scales. Note that not all fonts allow rotated Y axis labels. If the selected font is
True Type (clearly identified on the list) or Type 1 (Postscript), the Y axis label will be
rotated. Bitmap fonts such as System will result in horizontal labels on both axes. The
font choice affects all data windows as soon as you make the selection and click on OK.
