I tried changing the line spacing. It has an effect on the x-axis, but not on the y-axis. XYOuts (or cgText) is still probably your best bet, if you are sticking with direct graphics.

Compare this

plot, randomu(0,100), XTITLE='X Title', YTITLE='Y Title'

To this

window, /free
charsize = !d.x_ch_size
spacing = !d.y_ch_size
device, SET_CHARACTER_SIZE=[!d.x_ch_size, 0.8*!d.y_ch_size]
plot, randomu(0,100), XTITLE='X Title', YTITLE='Y Title'
device, SET_CHARACTER_SIZE=[charsize, spacing]
