Apparently not.
But I still think an argument can be made that this is
what !P.MULTI is *suppose* to be doing. It takes care
of most of the details for you. Most of the time, if you
are making smaller plots, you need smaller text. If you
*don't* need smaller text, then pay attention to all the
details yourself. It seems like a reasonable trade-off
to me.
Cheers,
David
P.S. And Mark is right. The easiest thing to do is
just create encapsulated PostScript files and
arrange them however you like in whatever word
processor you happen to be using. This is FAR simpler
than mucking about with this.

Does the order of the !P.MULTI= and DEVICE, /... calls matter?

I find if m or n greater than 2 in!p.multi=[0,m,n], the fontsize is not what
I want

Or write them to graphics files indivdually and arrange them afterwards.
Much easier in my experience.

Humm. I guess so.
Well, in that case you are going to have to figure out
all the !P.Multi stuff by hand and put your plots on
the page by using the POSITION keyword and NOERASE, where
appropriate.
thisDev = !D.Name
!P.Multi=0
Set_Plot, 'ps'
Device, Set_Font='Helvetica', Font_Size=10, /tt_font
Plot, findgen(11), Position=[0.052, 0.546, 0.184, 0.976], $
Font=1, XTitle='This is a long X title', $
YTitle='This is a much longer Y title'
Plot, findgen(11), Position=[0.252, 0.546, 0.384, 0.976], $
Font=1, XTitle='This is a long X title', $
YTitle='This is a much longer Y title', /NoErase
Device, /Close
Set_Plot, thisDev
Etc.
Cheers,
David

You are right. But not this one:
pro t00
thisDev = !D.Name
Set_Plot, 'PS'
!P.Multi=[0,5,2]
Device, Set_Font='Helvetica', Font_Size=10, /TT_Font, File = 'test_1.ps'
Plot, findgen(11), Font=1, XTitle='This is a long X title', $
YTitle='This is a much longer Y title'
Device, /Close
Device, Set_Font='Helvetica', Font_Size=10, /TT_Font, File = 'test_2.ps'
!P.Multi=[0,2,2]
Plot, findgen(11), Font=1, XTitle='This is a long X title', $
YTitle='This is a much longer Y title'
Plot, findgen(11), Font=1, XTitle='This is a long X title', $
YTitle='This is a much longer Y title'
Plot, findgen(11), Font=1, XTitle='This is a long X title', $
YTitle='This is a much longer Y title'
Plot, findgen(11), Font=1, XTitle='This is a long X title', $
YTitle='This is a much longer Y title'
Device, /Close

Or, another possibility, you just forgot to set your
FONT keyword on your graphics command (or !P.Font,
whatever you are using) to a Hardware of True-Type font.
The text size will *definitely* change when you go to
multiple plots if you are using the default vector
fonts.

David

Uh, probably you are not sure what you are doing. :-)
Here is an experiment. First plot:
thisDev = !D.Name
Set_Plot, 'PS'
Device, Set_Font='Helvetica', Font_Size=10, /TT_Font, File = 'test_1.ps'
Plot, findgen(11), Font=1, XTitle='This is a long X title', $
YTitle='This is a much longer Y title'
Device, /Close
Set_Plot, thisDev
Print that out on your PostScript printer. Then, next plot:
thisDev = !D.Name
Set_Plot, 'PS'
Device, Set_Font='Helvetica', Font_Size=10, /TT_Font, File = 'test_2.ps'
!P.Multi=[0,2,2]
Plot, findgen(11), Font=1, XTitle='This is a long X title', $
YTitle='This is a much longer Y title'
Plot, findgen(11), Font=1, XTitle='This is a long X title', $
YTitle='This is a much longer Y title'
Plot, findgen(11), Font=1, XTitle='This is a long X title', $
YTitle='This is a much longer Y title'
Plot, findgen(11), Font=1, XTitle='This is a long X title', $
YTitle='This is a much longer Y title'
Device, /Close
!P.Multi=0
Set_Plot, thisDev
Print that plot out.
I'm going to assert that the text on both plots is identical
and that it is 10 point helvetica font. :-)
Cheers,
David
