Are there other ideas for defaults?

I like the "P" followed by stacked superscript "p" + subscript "/a". Do you intend to do the same for the "i %/a" labels as well? I think it would look nicer.

Edit: this might help illustrate: a bar chart is a set of shapes with areas, but it's not confusing because the bars are all the same width. If the bars were different widths, we'd be in trouble.

Here's an example of a pie chart that isn't distorted.

Don't phone them - go to the post office/delivery office as I said. The person on the phone is not going to give you tracking for free and doesn't care who you are.
