Follow-up Comment #4, bug #45600 (project octave):
Thanks for pointing me to the -f startup option of Octave, Pantxo. What I did
previously was to temporary rename my .octaverc file in my user folder. But
unfortunatly this didn't do the job properly, there must be another location
where I had put a second .octave file a long time ago...
Now I redid all my plots (properly without any startup scripts) on the Ubuntu
Linux PC. I will attach the resulting screenshots to his comment.
And now the CONCLUSION is much easier:
* On all my 3 computers, with Windows and with Ubuntu OS, the qt plots have
all the same "visible" font size.
* Your Mint computer also produces the same plot.
* But: This "visible font size" in all the qt plots is significantly SMALLER
THAN the font size in a MATLAB plot.
* In my personal taste: The Octave default "visible font size" is TOO SMALL.
The Matlab one is better. (Even though the Matlab font size might still be
slightly too small for aging eyes.)
I know that the "formal font size" in Matlab and in Octave qt plots is the
very same, the value is fontsize=10. So the problem seems to be that fontsize
10 produces smaller texts in Octave plots, compared to Matlab plots!
Can we do something about this?
