The new IDL PLOT in 8.6 has new fonts and size for the titles. I can change the font size on the main title, but I don't know how to change it for the XTITLE and YTITLE. The new text looks fuzzy as well, not as crisp as original. What were the default font and font size prior to 8.6 and how can I change it back to that for all PLOT title values?

I don't think that there is any global way to change the default fonts used by IDL 8.6. According to "What's New in IDL 8.6 page": Graphics Font Improvements The graphics functions now use the DejaVuSans font by default. This produces better-looking text in plots and visualizations. If desired, you can use the FONT_NAME property to switch back to the default "Helvetica" font. See PLOT, TEXT, or any of the other graphics functions for details -David Harris GS
