Delphi TeeChart doesnt rotate labels

Question

I tried rotating labels by settings the Chart.BottomAxis.LabelsAngle := 45 but that doesn't work no matter to what value i change it i want my labels to be displayed vertically because not some labels overlap one another:

my settings are:

any ideas of how to fix this issue

P.S my chart is stacked

What i have already tried: tried changing the LabelsAngle property to 0,45,90,135 none seem to have any effect, the teechart version is the one that comes with Delphi, Currently using Delphi XE5.

Chart is used in FastReport

tried with non stacked chart and it seems to work upper stacked chart lower not stacked any idea what can cause this?:

Answer 1

This works fine for me with TeeChart 2014.11.140512, which is the latest version available. Does this work fine using a TChart component without FastReports? You could also check if the free TeeChart update for XE5 Update 2 solves the problem for you: cc.embarcadero.com/Item/29708

Answer 2

If you are using MS Sans Serif you can try Tahoma.
