I guess you are looking for the following information? Incidentally, you should have provided this information during creation yourself, unless you want the default (Helvetica, 12pt, Roman).

IDL> p = plot([0,1], [0,1])
IDL> t = text(0.6, 0.4, 'Some text', font_name='Times', font_size=16)
IDL> print, t.font_name, t.font_size
Times 16.000000
IDL> case t.font_style of 0: print, 'Roman' & 1: print, 'Bold' & 2: print, 'Italic' & 3: print, 'Bold Italic' & endcase
Roman

Or are you looking for the fonts on the plot axes? Those are properties of the plot object P, with the same names:

IDL> print, p.font_name, p.font_size, p.font_style
Helvetica 12.000000 0

or check the properties of the axes "inside" the object P":

IDL> help, p.axes
<Expression> OBJREF = Array[4]
IDL> for ii=0,3 do print, (p.axes)[ii].tickfont_name
Helvetica
Helvetica
Helvetica
Helvetica
IDL> for ii=0,3 do print, (p.axes)[ii].tickfont_size
12.000000
12.000000
12.000000
12.000000
IDL> for ii=0,3 do print, (p.axes)[ii].tickfont_style
