Font differences between Gempak5.9.2 and Gempak5.10.2

[Steve Chiswell]

Mike,

There are several factors which affect the TEXT plotting.
In the first instance you only show a size of ".7". The
font style and HW/SW flat will default to their previous
setting- thus depending on what you had run in that
directory/gplt session previously would continue to be in effect.
Make sure you set all the items size/style/width/hw-sw
in order to compare.


Also added in 5.9.4: 
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/gempak/GEMPAK5.9/whats_new.html#5.9.4
was the ability to control text size in line for individual parameters,
so you would want to ensure you aren't overriding any text attributes
that way:

	The text size and line width can also be specified for plotting 
	numerical data such as temperature and dewpoint.  These follow 
	the parameter name, or condition, delimited by colons.  For 
	example, TMPF:2.5:3 , would cause temperatures to be plotted
	with a text size of 2.5 and a line width of 3.  Text sizes that 
	are positive cause the data to be plotted at the location they 
	would appear if they were being plotted with the largest 
	specified text size (ie. farther from the center of the station 
	model than they would normally appear).  Text sizes that are 
	negative cause the offsets from the center of the station model 
	to be computed based on the specified text size.  NOTE:  A large 
	range of negative text sizes may result in some degree of 
	overplotting.  When using hardware fonts, text sizes may be named 
	sizes.  For example, tiny, SMALL, m, -m, -LARGE, etc, are all 
	valid specifications.  If no text size is provided for a particular 
	data type, that data will be plotted with the default text size 
	specified in the TEXT parameter.


If you are still having trouble with sizes, please send me the script
so I can run with the same TEXT, SFPARM, DEVICE settings
that you used to produce the plots.
