Nothing changes because the textfont option applies to the text commands
http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Plot/Commands#DrawingCommands not the font of
the labels. There are different font options for different parts of the plot:
captionfont, keyfont, labelfont, subtitlefont, symbolfont, textfont, titlefont

The different file formats for the save command have different options
http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Plot/Commands#Copycommands . From that page,
only the 'save bmp' format takes a width and height.
pd 'reset'
pd 'labelfont arial 40'
pd ? 100#100
pd 'show'
pd 'save png ', jpath '~temp/test.png'
