Re: label font

[Ansley Manke <ansley.b.manke@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Boyin,
As you've probably found, pens 7-9 will give a thicker line, but for
text colors, the syntax @Pnlabel only allows n to be one digit.  That is,
if you do the command

  yes? label/user x0, y0, 0, 0, .30, @p10Letter"

You will have the label "0Letter" on your plot, using pen number 1.
You can however use @Cnnn and get thick text using all of the pens
1 - 18.  Here is a very thick black label:

  yes? label/user/x0, y0, 0, 0, .30, @c013Letter"

Also, look at the script bold.jnl that's included with Ferret

 yes? go/help bold.jnl

for some more ideas on getting bolder-looking text on your plots.  Some
of the command lines in that script are commented out, but can be included
if you like; make your own personal version of bold.jnl.  There is also 
a script
unbold.jnl which restores the settings made by bold.jnl to default values.
