Change font type on a single axis

[solna86]

Thanks for creating Gadfly, which is fantastic and has become my preferred plotting package, even above ggplot2.

I was wondering whether it is possible to change the font type of a single axis (e.g. just x)? This is useful in case some variables on that axis have to be displayed with a mono-spaced font for clarity (e.g. when labels are strings of the same length), but I still want to keep default choices for the other axis to be consistent with the rest of the figures.

no it is not. however, this might be a relatively easy feature to add. one would just need to replace major_label_font here with e.g. major_label_font_abscissa and major_label_font_ordinate and then update all references in the code to major_label_font accordingly. want to take a stab at it? i'd happily review a PR.
