Since you are in PyFerret, you can change to a system font and set the font size with something like:

SET TEXT /FONT=carlito /ISIZE=0

(where ISIZE is -4 through 4)

Another option in PyFerret is
SET WIN /TEXTPROM=1.0

that actually scales all text drawn in that window.

(PyFerret implementation of /TEXTPROM is quite different from that of Ferret.)

Hopefully some of this will help you get what you want. Using PPL commands in PyFerret for text bypasses the usual scaling and adjustments for text in PyFerret.

Dear Ferret users

I have a problem with the customizing of shakey with Pyferret. If I change the lab size, the labelling is superimposed over the key.
Please see figure attached for example:
- one done with ferret (ferret_after_shakey.gif): no problem
- one done with pyferret (pyferret_after_shakey.gif): we cannot read the labels.

Code used for this figure:
yes? define viewport/axes/x=0.2:0.8/y=0.2:0.8 box
yes? set viewport box
yes? shade/i=1:10/j=1:30 i*j*1000
yes? ppl shakey 1,,0.2
yes? ppl shade

(The use of a viewport does not affect the bug, I just used it for readability)

Any suggestion? I need to generate figures for an article, and I really would prefer to use Pyferret instead of Ferret.

setup:
debian
FERRET v6.96
PyFERRET v7 (opt)

Thank you
