| Feb 3, 2011 at 15:08 | comment | added | Steve S | So what do you do when you have so many columns that they won't fit even with the smallest readable font? Changing the font size is almost never a real solution. It can be fine for one-offs, but you really need to look for other options most of the time. | |

| Feb 2, 2011 at 23:50 | comment | added | Steve S | Any chance we can get a representative screenshot? I'm still not sure there aren't better options than reducing the font size. | |
| Feb 2, 2011 at 23:34 | comment | added | richard | This is on a chart in a windows application, the x-axis labels have very little room. | |
| Feb 2, 2011 at 23:26 | comment | added | Steve S | Can you give some details about why you are constrained? Is this on the desktop, web, mobile, print, or hardware? Why are scrolling and multiple pages not options? Is all of the information to be displayed really vital, or is some of it secondary? | |
