Can you make the times at the bottom of the chart, and the price levels on the side of the chart, bigger or at least bolder?

Thanks

To change the X and Y axis font, you need to change the Global Settings >> Graphics Settings - Global >> Fonts >> Chart Text. Note that this is the general text, so it will change more than just the X and Y axes. Refer to the information here:
Graphics Settings: Chart Text - (current font name)

If you want to change the color for the X and Y axes, then that is done from the Colors and Widths tab on that same page. Refer to the following:
Graphics Settings: Chart Text

If you are making these changes on the Graphics Settings - Global page and it is not updating your chart, then the chart must be set to use Chart Specific settings. In which case, you would need to go to Chart >> Graphics Settings - Chart, to make the changes. Refer to the information here:
Graphics Settings: Using Different Color and Graphics Settings for Specific Charts

MDI stands for Multi-Document Interface. The tabs at the bottom of the Chartbook (by default) can display Charts and Spreadsheets, therefore this was the name that was given to them.
