Hi Phil, If you use Root version 3.00/06 (production release), you already have the possibility to give font sizes in pixels. See: http://root.cern.ch/root/htmldoc/TAttText.html { gROOT->Reset(); gStyle->SetLabelFont(23,"x"); //use font 2 precision 3 gStyle->SetLabelSize(14,"x"); //set label size in pixels gStyle->SetLabelFont(23,"y"); gStyle->SetLabelSize(14,"y"); TH1F h("h","h",100,-3,3); h.FillRandom("gaus"); h.Draw(); } Font precision 3 works for all types of text, except for the "title" and "stats" box. stats and title will also accept precision 3 in the next release.
