Why doesn't the following work?
myBaseStyle = {FontFamily -> "Helvetica"};
SetOptions[Plot, BaseStyle :> myBaseStyle];
Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 10}]
It seems that myBaseStyle does not get evaluated before plotting. Is
this a bug? Using Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 10}, BaseStyle :> myBaseStyle]
does work.
The old TextStyle option used exactly this pattern, and PerformanceGoal
and DisplayFunction still use it.
