Annoying, is it not; but Excel does not carry the format over with =cell_ref
when used in a chart.
Looks like a VBA solution is needed.

I am trying to create a graph with a variety of Series of Data. I am able
to
select a cell for the Series Name. The problem is that the Chart's font
formatting overrides the formatting that I have assigned in the cell.

My desire is to put some sort of name such as ABCDEF with the letters ABC
(and only ABC) italicized. I am able to make either all things in the
graph
italics or none (even though they show up in the cell of the spread sheet
the
way I desire). Is there a way I can do this?

Thanks,
