Thanks, Matt. I actually tried, but that "fontSize" applys to the axis title only.
I even tried the following customized axisrenderer, but still the fontSize set in this renderer has no effect on labels. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Label xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml <http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml> " creationComplete="setTxt()" fontSize="12" textAlign="right" paddingTop="0" paddingBottom="0" paddingLeft="0" paddingRight="0"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ private function setTxt():void{ text = data.value; } ]]> </mx:Script> </mx:Label> Lei --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Matt Horn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I think the axisrenderer supports the fontSize property.
