This is probably an extremely simple question. Is it possible to change the axis font for ListLinePlot?

Wouldn’t

```
ListLinePlot[Prime[Range[25]], Filling -> Axis, TicksStyle -> Directive[Red, Bold, 48]]

```

do the job?

Hi Udo - Thanks for the reply.

I am trying to use:

```
SetOptions[ListLinePlot, PlotStyle -> LightGray, 
  BaseStyle -> {FontFamily -> "Consolas", FontSize -> 10}];

```

which partially works. The FontFamily is only applied to the ordinate. The FontSize seems to work on both axes. I’m wondering if there is a way to set the FontFamily for both Axes.

The FontFamily seems to work on both axes, I’m not detecting differences between

```
ListLinePlot[Prime[Range[25]], Filling -> Axis, PlotStyle -> LightGray, BaseStyle -> {FontFamily -> "Consolas", FontSize -> 40}]

```

and

```
ListLinePlot[Prime[Range[25]], Filling -> Axis, PlotStyle -> LightGray, LabelStyle -> {FontFamily -> "Consolas", FontSize -> 40}]

```

especially the 20 looks on y-axis the same like on x-axis, doesn’t it?
