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
