Text size option no longer works when graphing after updating to macOS Monterey

[Jacob Gosselin]

Hi there!

Ever since updating to macOS Monterey, I've seemingly lost the ability to alter text size in graphs with Stata SE 14.2. The "size" option doesn't work, and even if I try to manually change text size of axes or labels, I'm unable to. The only thing that does change is the margins (in the attached image, you'll see the x-axis margins are altered to accommodate larger text). Just wanted to see if anyone else has run into this problem, or if this is a personal Mac problem. Example code below, resulting graph image attached...

sysuse auto, clear
histogram price, xtitle(, size(large))

You should first attempt to update Stata

update all

If that does not work, send a report to Stata Technical Services. They will need information about your license before they can process your query.

Thanks all for the help! For reference, I reached out to Stata Technical Services, and they sorted me out.

I believe Chinh Nguyen (StataCorp) addressed this problem in the following thread: https://www.statalist.org/forums/for...hs-in-stata-17

Wow Andrew thanks again!, the problem lies in the font used. In my case I use "Century Gothic" in my graphics and mac big sur does not have it.

Installing the font solves the problem.
