Thomas,
As John suggested before, please check if the size differences go away
if you use the same dpi, actually dpi=72.
After some quick look, it seems that the osx backend does not scale
the font size correctly respecting the dpi.
At line 124 of bacend_macosx.py,
size = prop.get_size_in_points()
weight = prop.get_weight()
style = prop.get_style()
gc.draw_text(x, y, unicode(s), family, size, weight, style, angle)
My quick guess is that replacing
size => size*self.dpi/72.
in the last call may solve the problem. Since I don't use the osx
backend, I wonder if others can test this.

Hi Jae-Jong and John,
Thanks for your replies! While experimenting with this to send
screenshots, I realized that my default backend was set to MacOSX, not
WXAgg. The WXAgg output to the screen actually agrees with the PNG output in
terms of font sizes. But the font sizes differ between the MacOSX and WXAgg
backends. Attached are screenshots using the MacOSX and WXAgg backends. You
can see the font size is different. Is this a bug?
Thanks,
Thomas

John,
I thought the font size (which is specified in points) is independent
of dpi, i.e., font size in "pixel" actually scales with the dpi. I
think it should be filed as a bug if the relative font size depends on
the dpi.
Anyhow, I just did a quick test and the (relative) font size does not
seem to vary with dpi.
Thomas,
What version of mpl are you using?
With the mpl from the svn trunk, I don't see any significant change as
you described.
The WxAgg figure and the png output are actually drawn by an identical
backend, so there should be no significant difference. There can be
some subtle difference due to different dpi, but I don't see a
difference as large as 30%. Can you post a some sample images? i.e., a
screenshot of WxAgg figure and the png output.
I can see that the text in pdf output occupies a bit larger area than
png (when usetex=False), but, to me, this seems to be due to different
amount of kernings (it seems that no kerning is applied for pdf text)
instead of different font size.
So, can you first check if the difference goes away when you use same
dpi as John suggested? And if that is the case, can you try the latest
svn and check if the relative font size still depends on the dpi?
Regards,
-JJ

Michiel de Hoon provided a patch for this which I just applied to the trunk.
As I don't have a Mac, I can't test it -- any feedback is welcome.

The patch seems to work - the MacOSX backend now displays the same font size as the other backends.
Thanks!
