The point of using !P.MULTI is to allow IDL to take care of
all the details of plot positioning, character sizing, etc.
If you try to do this kind of thing (as you are with your
character sizing) in conjunction *with* !P.MULTI the result
usually turns out to be a mess, as you are discovering.
I'd say if you want to use these large character sizes,
you will probably want to position your plots yourself
with the POSITION keyword. Be sure you use the NOERASE
keyword for all plots except the first one, too.
Cheers,
David
