Well, yes, I realise that. My point is that, for plots where I do !p.MULTI=[0,3,2], I
would like the option to have the character size to be the *same size* as when I do
!p.MULTI=0.
I find it completely ridiculous that, *by default*, !p.charsize=1.0 means different things
depending on the value of !p.multi.
Maybe there could be a sysvar flag, e.g. !p.charize_global_fix=1, to globally fix the
charsize to some absolute value, i.e. make !p.charsize insensitive to changes in !p.multi.
For the way I display plots (of course I realise others do it differently) I think it
looks decidedly low rent when different sets of PS plots have different character sizes
simply because one contains an extra row/column of plots.
cheers,
