ylabel font problem

I find when doing a 2-D line plot that the x and y-axis numbering
and x-axis label look fine, but the y-axis label changes from the
default (san serif) font to a roman font. Is there a trick that I can
use to force it to keep the default font for the y-axis label?
This was not a problem with the old MONGO, because you could
force the y-axis to use a plain (san serif) font with the \p command,
but that doesn't work for SUPERMONGO.

I'm not quite sure what the problem is, but SM uses
hardware fonts for non-expanded, non-rotated, roman
fonts; otherwise it uses Hershey fonts.

If you want to force no hardware fonts, try
expand 1.0001 or define a new device in your
local graphcap file:

postscript|postscript without hard fonts:\
:TB@:TE@:\
:SY=(cat $F | ssh apache2 lpr; rm $F) &:\
:TC=postscript:

You can see all the characters available with

: load fonts
: lsm fonts
fonts # draw the font table
font_table 1 # write a font $1 in ascii order
drawchar 1 # usage: drawchar number
TeX_defs # Write out list of `TeX' definitions
jTeX_defs # Write out list of `TeX' definitions
make_char # Draw a character, and spit out the answer in a form
: erase fonts
: erase TeX_defs

Maybe I'm late, but for anybody else who had the same problem: I solved it just re-defining the background and foreground colors in the default file. A line like:

device x11 -bg black -fg white

and *magically* the font becomes the same in all the axes labels and numbering.
