How can I change the fontface of a text within a plot

Quick question, can I change the font face on MATLABs plot to other not being Arial (At least I think the default style is Arial).

If I were to change it to Times New Roman, what must I do?

Can you please help?

set(gca, 'FontName', 'Times New Roman')

@shumaila did you try

set(gca, 'FontWeight', 'bold')

title() and *label() accept 'FontName' property/value pairs. You can also use a FontName property/value pair in an axes() call, or you can set() that.

Note that if you set() an axes fontname, then http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/axes_props.html

"Note that MATLAB does not display the x-, y-, and z-axis labels in a new font until you manually reset them (by setting the XLabel, YLabel, and ZLabel properties or by using the xlabel, ylabel, or zlabel command). Tick mark labels change immediately."

get(gca,'fontname')  % shows you what you are using.
set(gca,'fontname','times')  % Set it to times

For example:

text(.10,.2, 'Hello World', 'FontName', 'Impact', 'FontSize', 40, 'Color', [.5 0 1]);

Should work with title(), xlabel(), and ylabel() also.
