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.
