is it possible to personalize the text style in Matlab, such as 'Arial', 'times new romane', etc?
if not, can anyone tell me what is the default text style in Matlab?
Thanks!

I want have 'Times New Roman' as default style for all situations, but according to Adam's answer I have to set it everytime I run the function.

I don't think you understand the 3rd secton of code in my answer. That section will change the default fontname property. See the comment under my answer for instructions on how to change the font of the IDE (the Matlab user interface).

Set the FontName property. Here are some examples.
title('myTitle', 'FontName', 'Times')
xlabel('myLabel', 'FontName', 'Arial')
set(gca, 'FontName', 'Gotham')
To get a list of available fonts:
listfonts
To set the default fonts,
set(0, 'DefaultAxesFontName', 'Arial');
% or any of the following...
'defaultUicontrolFontName'
'defaultUitableFontName'
'defaultAxesFontName'
'defaultTextFontName'
'defaultUipanelFontName'
