It's been pointed out that the small default font size for pmchart can be difficult to read for some folks or in some situations (like a demo). It should be configurable - a command line argument would be a simple initial solution, but (perhaps longer term, when Preferences are revisited) via a GUI interaction would be nice too.
An initial change here for early experimentation has been introduced via this pcp-gui git commit (git://oss.sgi.com/pcp/pcp-gui dev) ... commit 7131a290b4eaab4af3f3c1bdfda78f457503bcb7 Author: Nathan Scott <nathans> Date: Tue Feb 18 14:59:36 2014 +1100 Add pmchart options to set font size and family Introduce -f and -F to pmchart for allowing the user more control over the default chart font size used for things like Y-Axis labels, the title and the legend. Other excellent suggestions for improving this include an interactive Preferences dialog addition, and browser-like Ctrl+ and Ctrl- hotkeys. These have not been implemented at this stage. Additional work on improving layouts with these settings would be good too, but this gives at least a simple way to tweak this now.
