Not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but
xlabel (and ylabel) doesn't honour the rcParams['font.size']
parameters.
To see this:
x = linspace(0,10)
y = x**2
plot(x,y)
xlabel("x, m")
ylabel(r'y^2, m^2")
rcParams['font.size'] = 20
ylabel(r'y$^{2}$, m')
this is different to
ylabel(r'y$^{2}$, m', fontsize=rcParams['font.size'])
So, xlabel behaviours similarly; the fontsize parameter is
honoured, but the default parameter, as set with rcParams['font.size']
is not.
I would call this a bug, not a feature.
Other info, as requested by the troubleshooting FAQ...
