Gareth,

You'll need to refer to Matlab syntax to set fonts, sizes, colors, etc.

For example

        ht = text (x, y, 'some-string');
        set (ht, 'color', [0 0 1], 'fontsize', 14, 'fontname', 'Helvetica');

or for an xlabel

	xlabel ('some-label', 'color', [0 0 1], 'fontsize', 14, 'fontname',  
'Helvetica');

or

        xlabel ('some-label');
        hx = get (gca, 'xlabel');
        set (hx, 'color', [1 0 0], 'fontsize', 14, 'fontname', 'Helvetica');

The Matlab syntax and properties are presently a work in progress.  
Some properties may not yet be in place.

To see which ones are

        prop = get (hx)
