You might want to try using the TextStyle-> directives.  It saves a lot
of typing for each label and gives the same font to the ticks.  I have
included an example below.  Note that there can be problems with the
Mathematica fonts not coming out looking correct in a different
program.  P.J. Hinton has responded several times with a solution.

dd = Plot[{g3[h, 0], ig6[h], Re[ g4[h, 0]], g1[h, 0], 1}, {h, 0, 1},
PlotRange -> {0, 1}, AspectRatio -> 1, GridLines -> {{1}, {}},
    PlotPoints -> 100,
AxesLabel -> {StyleForm[\[Pi]^h],
StyleForm[\[Pi]^f]}, TextStyle -> {FontFamily->"Helvetica",FontWeight -
> "Bold", FontSize -> 14}]
