Matt, the graphics backend is presently under a great deal of  
development. At the present time the axis tick labels do not respect  
the axis' fontsize property.

However, for output to eps/ps/pdf and such the print command allows  
the fontsize to be specified.

I don't know about the colorbar, anyone else?
