Hello Alan et al,

I've found a curious plplot behaviour having a closer look at example 3:
monitoring the font changes, it looks like there are font changes before
and after writing the thetas, switching from Times to Helvetica. I don't
think this is a problem in the Qt driver parser, as the font change also
occurs in wxwidgets. Obviously, Qt doesn't align the different fonts on
the same baselines.

Is this font switch justified by anything?

Cheers,

Alban
