If you read the detailed steps for reproducing this bug, you will find that I
have already stated that "Character" button doesn’t work for native chart
textboxes. In fact, right click doesn't show "Character" option. You must
customize a toolbar for that (step 11). But even in that case, as the title
states, it is not possible to format single characters of native chart
texboxes. Any format given to the native texbox (title, subtitle, axis titles)
is given to all the text.

And, as a workaround, one must create a custom textbox, which *is* formateable.
The problem with this arises when one has to work with many, many charts. My
thesis has 79 figures, of which 70 could have had subscripts and italic
individual characters in their axis title. But adding custom textboxes (which
are not automatically centred as native texboxes), and formatting them, one by
one, through "right click"->"character" is really tedious (and that's the
reason of bug 58038). At the end, I preferred something a little less
"professional looking" than doing that work. This is, of course, my personal
experience.
