>>You can try:

>>xticklabels = getp(gca(), 'xticklabels')
>>yticklabels = getp(gca(), 'yticklabels')
>>setp(xticklabels, fontsize=14, weight='bold')
>>setp(yticklabels, fontsize=14, weight='bold')

I've tried this, but since I've set  rc('text', usetex=True), the ticklabels
are only responsive to fontsize but not to weight. That is at least my
experience. Am I doing something wrong? 

I've been trying to solve my problem by replacing the ticklabels with
strings. I know this is a very inelegant workaround, but I am running out of
ideas. I've tried two approaches that haven't worked successfully. (I don't
get error messages, but nothing changes in the plot):

Approach 1:
x_labels = ['\boldmath $10^22$','\boldmath $10^23$','\boldmath $10^24$']
ax1.set_xticklabels(x_labels)

Approach 2: 
Inspired by  http://old.nabble.com/axis-on-top-for-barh-plot-td26549035.html
this post :

ax1.xaxis.set_major_locator(ticker.FixedLocator(range(3)))
ax1.xaxis.set_major_formatter(ticker.FixedFormatter(x_labels))

Thanks! I'd be happy to share my code with everyone. It is not very nicely
written, but I can fix it up. What steps should I take? Everything I've
learned is from examples. This is just an amalgamation of expressions I've
found on the web.  

Cheers, Daniel
