Consider an ASP.NET MVC controller method that builds an ASP.NET Chart image.
public FileStreamResult MakeImg(IEnumerable<MyObj> stats)
{
Chart barchart = BarChart(400, 300);
Series series1 = new Series("Series1");
series1.ChartArea = "ca1";
series1.ChartType = SeriesChartType.Column;
series1.IsValueShownAsLabel = true;
series1.Font = new Font("Verdana", 9f, FontStyle.Regular);
barchart.Series.Add(series1);
// Set chart data source
barchart.DataSource = stats;
// Set series members names for the X and Y values
barchart.Series["Series1"].XValueMember = "FriendlyDate";
barchart.Series["Series1"].YValueMembers = "NumRecords";
// Data bind to the selected data source
barchart.DataBind();
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
barchart.SaveImage(ms, ChartImageFormat.Png);
ms.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
return new FileStreamResult(ms, "image/png");
}
The image is rendered in an unattractive manner:

Question: How can I set the font programmatically for the:
chart.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.LabelStyle.Font
chart.ChartAreas[0].AxisY.LabelStyle.Font
is the property you need to set the font for the Axes.
