Try in your idl_Startup file:
DEVICE,DECOMPOSED=0
!p.background=255
!p.color=0

Hi David,
I just did it via:
...
tvlct,255,255,255,!P.BACKGROUND
!x.tickname=['!17 0m', '10m', '20m', '30m', '40m', '50m'] & !x.ticks=5
shade_surf, r, ax=45, az=25, zrange=[0,6], font= -3, charsize=3.0
...
maybe this way of doing it is very shocking for a specialist like you... Well, in
this example font must be < n, and is independent of n (I don't understand it, but
... it works)
There is just a last question I am fighting with it since hours:
How can I scale the shade_surface-plot in the z-direction? I am not happy with
SCALE3D (no effect) etc and with the zrange-keyword. With zrange the plot looks fine
if you select in this option a wider range as it is necessary for the plot itself,
but the z-axis is too long. I dind't find any option to reduce it's length without
cutting the data. Just to reduce the ysize of the window is not a very fine method...
Thanks again for your effort!!
Harald

I have tried many things, but all with the same result: Font > 0 no changes at
all (the text is not orientated, looking like a typewriter-font), Font < 0 : text
is orientated, other font as before, but not changing between 0, ..., 29. Looking
a little better, but it is a very very thin font.
Is this a bug of IDL5.0 (OS: Linux), or have I forgotten something diuring the
installation process?
Thank you for your last tip!!
Best wishes,
Harald
