dojox charts - gfx create text not taking fonts into consideration

[[email protected]…]

Below is the code snippet of creating a dojox/chart For the X-Axis have a title and explicitly specifying htmlLabels to true. However this will not have any effect on IE because by default dojox/charting/axis2d/Default.js, line # 740 checks if it is IE it will use gfx to create the text. Also if the title for Y-Axis with rotation (anything other than 0) will be forced to use gfx. For some reason gfx is not taking fonts into consideration and I didn't get time to dig into the root cause. var c = new Chart("chart");

c.addPlot("default", {

type : StackedAreas?, tension : 3

}).addAxis("x", {

title : "X-Axis", titleOrientation : "away", htmlLabels : true, titleGap: 30, titleFont : "normal normal 24px Tahoma", dropLabels : true, fixLower : "major", fixUpper : "major", font: "normal normal bold 24pt Tahoma", fontColor: "blue"

}).addAxis("y", {

title : "Y-Axis", htmlLabels : true, titleOrientation : "away", titleRotation: 270, titleGap: 30, titleFont : "normal normal 24px Tahoma", vertical : true, fixLower : "major", fixUpper : "major", min : 0, font: "normal normal bold 24pt Tahoma", fontColor: "red"

}).setTheme(Wetland)

For now, I'm marking this as patchwelcome, as realistically it's not going to get fixed unless someone works on the pull request to fix it.
