Smaller than the default font size, usually 12pt.  This option allows you t=

set the default font size for the entire plot and then just adjust the axis=
,
label, etc. font sizes relative to it. Therefore, if you decide that all th=
e
fonts of a plot are too small, then you only need to adjust the default fon=
t
size and the others will scale proportionaly.

It is not affected (imho) by either of the following settings in my

It should depend on font.size in the rc file.
