cfchart styles

Question

I'm working on building some custom style files for charts
(CFMX 7.0.2) so that they are closer to the look of our app. Is
there really no way to customize the chart title? All other text
elements seem to take the xml changes just fine, but the title
stays the default, which is quite hideous. I'd like to anti-alias
the text (like I have in the rest of the chart text), make it a
little bigger and bold (like you would expect for a title), remove
the box and shadow and use the font we've used throughout the rest
of the app (and the other chart elements). Am I missing
something?

Sorry...I guess I should have given more background in my original post. I am using Webcharts, and I love the control it gives me over so many attributes of the charts. BUT, for some reason, changes made to the font, font-size, font-weight of the chart title are not used by the charting engine in CF. It completely ignores the changes you make. It may be ignoring other font changes as well, but that's the only one I really care to make different, since it is the title of the chart after all. I'd like it a little bigger and bold.

I guess I just don't understand what reason Macromedia/Adobe would have for limiting the control of the charts. I can make these beautiful charts with any colors I want and any shapes as markers, etc., etc., but I have to have the title as a tiny little font that doesn't match anything else in my app.
