Bokeh can't set axis ticks font

Question

axis().major_tick_label_font    ="times"
axis()[0].major_tick_label_font ="times"
axis().major_tick_font          ="times"
xaxis().major_tick_font         ="times"

Nothing worked. How to set the font of the ticks? Not the axis label, but the ticks label.

Answer 1

The names of some of the properties are unfortunately a little overly verbose. Text properties all have basic names like text_font_size and then that may also have a prefix like major_label. (In this case, major_label is the "label for a major tick") So all together the proper attribute name is major_label_text_font.

You can see an example that sets similar properties here:

https://docs.bokeh.org/en/latest/docs/user_guide/styling.html#axes

And there is information in the docs about general properties here:
