It's good you solved it.
Concerning the changing of legend, basically legend doesn't accept options
like "fontsize" or "markersize" (it should inherit those from related
plotted objects), but legend object is sort of axis with children of type
"line" and "text", whos properties could be changed. So in  testik3.m
<http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/file/n4653084/testik3.m>   you can find
some clue. Unfortunately it works well with fltk but not with gnuplot. It
seems to have no effect on gnuplot and I have no other advice. You could
make a new thread on Nabble for this.

About your calls for octave improvements, you can pass them to bug reports.
Since I'm not a developer or maintainer but only an user as you.

Finally, it seems to me that your emails are addressed just to me and it
doesn't appear on Nabble. Maybe you could use a Replay button on the Nabble
instead of replaing via email (I don't know if this is the case, it's just
an idea).
