Kevin,
     For the contour labels, you can not make any changes. But in the station 
plot you can
select the font and size, all you need to do is to edit the layout model. Go to 
the Dashboard --> Displays,
select the data source (such as Surface Data), the first tab is Layout panel, 
there is small arrow icon
, click it, you can change the layout model or edit, in the editor window, you 
can then do the changes of the text attributes. 
      We will put the contour labels editing in our todo list.

Thanks,

Yuan
