Sorry for being too short, not to overload you with the whole problem. The editor helps. Usually i have to make several figures in a common style and more this procedure i have to repeat from time to time. Thus editing by hand is a timeconsuming procedure. The right solution would be the use of a proper style. That's why i decided to make a style proper for my presentations.
May be i'm wrong using a landscape type canvas making figures which will be used in a portrait like page, but sometimes figures look better in a landscape manner.
BTW There is right now a message in roottalk with the same problem(need to make large labels). I guess production of the figure i inquired about with the editor will take not more than an hour at worst(with fine tuning and coffee) if one knows what to write in.

                               Valery.
