[chart] how to set font face to san serif [message #955007]

the default axis labels uses a serif font:

getCaption().getFont().getName()

returns null Neutral

.

I need to set a given FontDefinition to sans-serif (whatever is the system default for sans-serif). how to achieve this in java code?

i already tried this:

        
FontDefinition oldFont = xAxisPrimary.getLabel().getCaption().getFont();
        xAxisPrimary.getLabel()
                    .getCaption()
                    .setFont(FontDefinitionImpl.create("Helvetica",
                                                       oldFont.getSize(),
                                                       false,
                                                       false,
                                                       false,
                                                       false,
                                                       true,
                                                       oldFont.getRotation(),
                                                       oldFont.getAlignment()));

this is not working (x labels disapear)
the main problem is the name - i don't know the name and i don't know what "names" are available on a given system.
And i don't want to change any other aspects of font definition.

got it from here

getLabel().getCaption().getFont().setName("sans-serif");

this is working as expected!
