 @item color
 The color of the text.  @xref{Colors}.
+
+@item fontname
+The font used for the text.
+
+@item fontsize
+The size of the font, in points to use.
+
+@item fontangle
+Flag whether the font is italic or normal. Valid values are 'normal',
+'italic' and 'oblique'.
+
+@item fontweight
+Flag whether the font is bold, etc. Valid values are 'normal', 'bold',
+'demi' or 'light'.
+
+@item interpreter
+Determines how the text is rendered. Valid values are 'none', 'tex' or
+'latex'.
 @end table
 
+All text objects, including titles, labels, legends, and text, include
+the property 'interpreter', this property determines the manner in which
+special control sequences in the text are rendered. If the interpreter
+is set to 'none', then no rendering occurs. At this point the 'latex'
+option is not implemented and so the 'latex' interpreter also does not
+interpret the text.
+
+The 'tex' option implements a subset of @sc{TeX} functionality in the
+rendering of the text. This allows the insertion of special characters
+such as Greek or mathematical symbols within the text. The special
+characters are also inserted with a code starting with the back-slash
+(\) character, as in the table @ref{tab:extended}. 
+
+In addition, the formating of the text can be changed within the string
+with the codes 
+
+@multitable @columnfractions .2 .2 .6 .2

+@item @tab \it @tab Italic font @tab
+@item @tab \sl @tab Oblique Font @tab
+@item @tab \rm @tab Normal font @tab
+@end multitable
+
+These are be used in conjunction with the @{ and @} characters to limit
+the change in the font to part of the string. For example
+
+@example
+xlabel ('@{\bf H@} = a @{\bf V@}')
+@end example
+
+where the character 'a' will not appear in a bold font. Note that to
+avoid having Octave interpret the backslash characters in the strings,
+the strings should be in single quotes.
+
+It is also possible to change the fontname and size within the text

+@end multitable
+
+Finally, the superscript and subscripting can be controlled with the '^'
+and '_' characters. If the '^' or '_' is followed by a @{ character,
+then all of the block surrounded by the @{ @} pair is super- or
+sub-scripted. Without the @{ @} pair, only the character immediately
+following the '^' or '_' is super- or sub-scripted.
