Hi,

Setting default properties for text objects does work for "regular" text
objects:


set(0,'defaulttextfontsize',14)
set(0,'defaulttextfontname','Arial')
plot (1:10);
ht = text ();
get (ht, {"fontsize", "fontname"})
#-> ans = {14, "arial"}


Axes labels are handled differently: their properties are copied from their
corresponding axes font* properties.
I checked in ML and it behaves the same way:


set(0,'defaulttextfontsize',14)
set(0,'defaulttextfontname','Arial')
plot (1:10)
xlabel('This is a test for a LABEL');
title('This is a test title!');
lab = get (gca, 'xlabel');
get (lab, 'FontSize')
%-> 11


So something like this will achieve what you want:


set(0,'defaultaxesfontsize',13)
set(0,'defaultaxesfontname','Arial')


This will set ticklabels size=13 and x(yz)labels size=14.3. The ratio between
those(here 1.1) is given by the "label(title)fontsizemultiplier" property.

Closing report as invalid.
