widths. The font used for the annotations along the scale is specified by
:term:`FONT_ANNOT_PRIMARY` while any unit placed at the side of the
bar is controlled by :term:`FONT_ANNOT_SECONDARY`. If a label along the bar

bar is controlled by :term:`FONT_ANNOT_SECONDARY`. If a label along the bar is requested, it is plotted with
:term:`FONT_LABEL`. But mind you that the modern mode theme scales down the size of annotations and labels
based on the colorbar length for improved legibility. So, in modern mode scripts it might look that these
parameter settings are not working correctly. If you may want to increase font sizes to compensate the
scaling effect the solution is to use the online ``--FONT_ANNOT_PRIMARY=...`` construct.
