I am trying to use your chart....

The left axis was numbers and the bottom axis was the names......

But when I try using 20 labels of names in a chart the font size is so small and compacted together that it is unreadable.

Even when rendereng like 5 or 600px wide.

I just tried to install the charts model and it destroyed my site. I must make this module work. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

This depends on charting engine and the labels used. I highly doubt Drupal module can do anything here, so closing the ticket.

All included engines support setting axis label font sizes, here it is for example for Google
http://code.google.com/apis/chart/image/docs/chart_params.html#axis_labe...

I just tested the module the past hours but Views Charts is unusable with more than 5 axis items at the moment due to inability to set Axis Label Sizes. They become all mushed together due to the large default font size which is ideal for 2-3 axis items.

I would say this is pretty important, so if you dont mind I leave the as open, perhaps someone is willing to put in a patch.
