It would be nice to be able to set different font sizes when an element goes into focus mode.

The category values, or legends, for example, when are sized inside the report, need to be small enough to visualize. However, when you go fullscreen in focus mode, the graph grows and the text stays very small, the same.

Maybe the idea would be adding to the "Pre-visualization" a font resize also.

What is the point of using the focus mode for a matrix viz when is stays the same size. This is a required feature when we have a matrix with hiearchies and the user would like to review the data in full screen mode. Please make this a priority otherwise this feature is useless with this viz.

Having a mode that switches to a user-selected font (eg. something plain & readable) would be great, this is one of the reasons I find LaTex appealing and It would be amazing to have it in word.

RE: Font resize on focus mode

This is a constant request we receive from report viewers. On many of our reports, text labels are unreadable in either the full page view or in Focus mode. We end up compromising with text sizes that are mostly cutoff in the first view or too small to read in Focus mode.

RE: Font resize on focus mode

This is desperately needed. Matrixes and tables cannot be read in focus mode. This is frustrating.

RE: Font resize on focus mode

This would be a really useful feature in focus mode. When a dashboard is projected on a screen in a meeting. It can be difficult to see tabular data. Being able to enlarge the table would be incredibly useful

RE: Font resize on focus mode

Has this not been implemented yet? Has anyone come up with a workaround? The font becomes unreadable when viewing pie charts in focus mode. I am sure it is the same for most charts, but I'm currently working with some pie charts and our users have to screen print the small version on the dashboard and then manipulate the size that way. Very ineffective and poor quality.

'+1 for this idea. We use wide screens and focus mode for presentations. On normal screens (<=27") the size is fine but focus mode makes the X-axis and Y-axis font sizes actually too small to even read

RE: Font resize on focus mode

Please can we have this feature --- the focus mode font is so small it's hardly readable!
