A workaround is to set htmlLabels: false on your axis. Another workaround is probably to set a titleFont on the axis.

The origin of the problem is that the font for the title is not found on the Claro theme and that an exception occurs. The way title font is defined in themes is not documented. They are strangely not defined in theme.axis.titleFont or theme.axis.title.font but theme.axis.tick.titleFont and thus not inherited from default theme to Claro. Part of the fix will consist in documenting and correctly locating title font in axis.title.font.

fixes #13666. Document title properties on axis and theme. On theme make sure they are correctly avaible in axis.title not as properties of axis.tick. That fixes issue with title not appearing with inherited themes. Also some small clean ups. !strict.

now that we do not do anymore a blind try{}catch{} in Axis, having an axis where it does not make sense (i.e. Pie) make it crash. This fix is preventing axis to be used for Pie. Refs #13666. !strict.
