<pre>I must be missing something important - but haven't a clue about how to 'get it'.</pre>
 
<pre>I think that I am explicitly formatting the text style for Object Axis annotation as follows ...</pre>

<pre></pre>

<pre>oHelvetica10 = obj_new('IDLgrFont', 'Helvetica',size = 10.)</pre>

<pre>oOrigXAxis1 -> getProperty,$
          TickText = oTickText
oTickText -> SetProperty, Font= oHelvetica10
oOrigXaxis1 ->setProperty, Ticktext = oTicktext</pre>

<pre></pre>

<pre>To my great surprise the text is scaled to different sizes when displayed (and frequently illegible).</pre>

<pre>It looks like the scaling is related to the axis data range (big ranges yield small text sizes).</pre>

<pre>Shouldn't Helvetica 10pt be sized to 10pt?</pre>

<pre></pre>

<pre>Thanks, Ben</pre>
