Hi Kevin,
thanks for your suggestion to pointing out the SingleLetterItalics->True
option, of which I was not aware.
I changed this option with the OptionsInspector but it did not have any
influence on the axis label.
Thanks again for pointing out this option SingleLetterItalics but I
think I give up about the FontSlant for the moment.
Thank you very much and kind regards,
Thomas.
