I"d like to be able to add text to various (x,y) coordinates. Currently

There are a few parameters that affect the relative sizes of all the
figure elements and text
figsize - passed to the figure command, width and height in inches
dpi - passed to the figure command, number of dots per inch
fontsize - passed to the text command, size of text in points
axes([l,b,w,h]) - create a custom axes with width and height as
fractions of figure size
By tweaking these parameters, you should be able to place your text
anywhere you want at any size you want.
If this doesn't help, post a complete example and describe what is
wrong and someone may be able to offer pointers
