Is there a way to include two or more fonts in legend text?

Hello,

Tried to do the same, but I couldn't find a way.

If you try to alter the font for selected parts of the legend in the legend property editor, the whole legend is affected. This leads me to believe it's not possible to use multiple fonts w/o rewriting parts of the legend function.

If someone thinks it is possible, I'd be very interested.

Yes, it's possible.  Use \fontname{} to change the font:

  legend('The word {\fontname{times}Times} is in Times.')

You can also use \fontsize and \color.  See the help for the 'String' 
property of the function 'text'.

Many thanks Doug. My thesis just got a little more professional.
