This might extend the scale too much for some logarithmic scales

This lets you customize which font to use for the various text
elements on the RRD graphs. C<DEFAULT> sets the default value for all
Use Times for the title: C<--font TITLE:13:/usr/lib/fonts/times.ttf>
+If you do not give a font string you can modify just the sice of the default font:
+C<--font TITLE:13:>.
+
+If you specify the size 0 then you can modify just the font without touching
+the size. This is especially usefull for altering the default font without
+resetting the default fontsizes: C<--font DEFAULT:0:/usr/lib/fonts/times.ttf>.

RRDtool comes with a preset default font. You can set the environment
variable C<RRD_DEFAULT_FONT> if you want to change this.
Truetype fonts are only supported for PNG output. See below.
+[B<-R>|B<--font-render-mode> {I<normal>,I<light>,I<mono>}]
+
+This lets you customize the strength of the font smoothing,
+or disable it entirely using I<mono>. By default, I<normal>
+font smoothing is used.
+
+[B<-B>|B<--font-smoothing-threshold> I<size>]
+
+This specifies the largest font size which will be rendered
+bitmapped, that is, without any font smoothing. By default,
+no text is rendered bitmapped.

+RRDtool graphs are composed of stair case curves by default. This is in line with
+the way RRDtool calculates its data. Some people favor a more 'organic' look
+for their graphs even though it is not all that true.
