I played with chart module and found that the fonts settings are

is no legends on graphs so ... not very usefull.

Instead it would be better to use one or every of the followings:

In share/html/Search/Chart, the only font setting is made by set_legend_font, but there

We've actually already done a fair bit of this in RT 3.7. I'm hoping to start tightening up RT 3.8 for release "soon"

For bars:

set_x_label_font
set_y_label_font
set_x_axis_font
set_y_axis_font
set_values_font

For pies:

set_label_font
set_value_font


Also it's often needed to specify the font path, here is a tested
example:

use GD::Text;
GD::Text->font_path("/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera");


it would be very nice ;)

That's my two cents...

And of course, if those settings can be customized in RT_SiteConfig.pm, Here is my current diff (RT 3.6.3), also replacing the default non- free (verdana) by free fonts from bitstream: - $chart->set_legend_font( ['verdana', 'arial', gdMediumBoldFont], 12); + $chart->set_legend_font( ['VeraBd', 'verdana', 'arial', gdMediumBoldFont], 12); + $chart->set_x_label_font( ['VeraBd', 'verdana', 'arial', gdMediumBoldFont], 12); + $chart->set_y_label_font( ['VeraBd', 'verdana', 'arial', gdMediumBoldFont], 12); + $chart->set_x_axis_font( ['Vera', 'verdana', 'arial', gdMediumBoldFont], 10); + $chart->set_y_axis_font( ['Vera', 'verdana', 'arial', gdMediumBoldFont], 10); + $chart->set_values_font( ['Vera', 'verdana', 'arial', gdMediumBoldFont], 10); + $chart->set_label_font( ['VeraBd', 'verdana', 'arial', gdMediumBoldFont], 12); + $chart->set_value_font( ['Vera', 'verdana', 'arial', gdMediumBoldFont], 10);
