While we're talking about fonts, why are fonts used in the Z buffer
bigger than fonts used in the 'X' device? Is there some magic to make
the Z buffer fonts appear the same as the 'X' fonts or vice versa?
; create a plot in 'X'
set_plot, 'X'
window, XSIZE=640, YSIZE=512
plot, findgen(11), TITLE='Title', XTITLE='Index', YTITLE='Value'
image1 = tvrd()
; create a plot in 'Z'
set_plot, 'Z'
device, SET_RESOLUTION=[640, 512]
plot, findgen(11), TITLE='Title', XTITLE='Index', YTITLE='Value'
image2 = tvrd()
; image1 and image2 are very different images! Why?
