Use the setTickLabelFont(...) method in the Axis class:

XYPlot plot = myChart.getXYPlot();
Axis xAxis = plot.getDomainAxis();
Axis yAxis = plot.getRangeAxis();
xAxis.setTickLabelFont(font1);
yAxis.setTickLabelFont(font2);

You can increase the space around the title using the setSpacer(...) method in the AbstractTitle class:

AbstractTitle title = myChart.getTitle(0);
title.setSpacer(new Spacer(...));

The Legend class has an attribute 'outerGap' that controls the amount of space around the outside of the legend. Unfortunately, this can only be set in the constructor. I'll probably modify this to use a Spacer object, in the same way as AbstractTitle.

The setTickLabelInsets(...) method in the Axis class controls the amount of space around the outside of the tick labels.
