Hi Peter, By default, the font size is computed to keep the aspect ratio. You can choose a different font precision for the labels, eg gStyle->SetLabelFont(60); (hardware fonts) see http://root.cern.ch/root/html/TAttText.html This will provide better (but non scalable fonts) in case of very small pictures. However, on NT, the True Type Fonts are always active.
