Set fonts in a powerpoint chart

C

How do I set my chosen font (eg. Blackadder) to always appear for labels,
values and legend in a chart. At the moment, I have to select the font for,
say, labels. If I then delete those labels and reapply them, they come back
as the default, Arial, and not my chosen font, Blackadder.

It's driving me crazy!! Can someone help me?

Echo S has done 3 great tutorials on colour schemes that should help you with
the font too:

'You can also set up a chart the way you want it to look, assigning colors
to whatever swatches, specifying the font, etc., and save as a user-defined
chart. Then you can designate that chart as your default chart type.'

That's an extract from http://www.echosvoice.com/colorschemes3.htm

Hope that helps.

Thanks, but this did not work. When I apply data labels they still come back
as the default Arial. Thanks for the help, anyway.

There’s a thread called ‘font changes in graphs within pppt’ (their spelling
not mine ;-)) that may help you – particularly some of Echo’s responses
starting halfway down.

Thanks for your help Lucy! Much appreciated.

I have actually figured it out for myself.

I discovered if you click in between the border and plot area of the active
chart you can then select the font you want which will be applied to the
whole chart and be used as it's default.
