What are the commands to set the default font and font size for figures and figure objects? I've found 'FontName' and 'FontSize' for each object. But I want a system wide settings. Thanks

Hi John, One way is to use set(0,...) as in

set(0,'defaulttextfontsize',18);

save these commands in a startup.m file so they are set when Matlab starts.

Hi John, 

Look in the Matlab User's Guide under 
Graphics -> Handle Graphics Objects -> Setting Default Property Values

Hope that helps,
Wayne

John, another thing to do is to issue:

get(0,'default')

from the command line
