Is there any way to set this from inside my script? Can i do that via 
__gnuplot_set__? If so, what is the syntax?
(I.e. I tried: __gnuplot_set__ (0, "defaultaxesfontsize", 14),
but that doesn't work.)

Is there a better/preferred way to do this since octave tells me that 
__gnuplot_set__ is obsolete. Can i set the font size via the print command? 
(I am printing my plot to a .png file)


thanks
