Set font size of values numbers on the axis

Question

How do I set the font size for the values on both the x and y-axis?

I've looked around and I've only found ways to change the xlabel's size and ylabel's size, but I want the actual numbers below the axis to be bigger.

Similar challenge has been in Matlab where I have found the PaperSize option the best way to get consistent fonts. Similar procedure can also work in Gnuplot so I opened a new thread about it here http://stackoverflow.com/q/29727851/54964 — Léo Léopold Hertz 준영, Apr 19 '15 at 09:04

Small elaboration on bb2's answer, if you do not want to change the font face:

set xtics font ", 30"

And for tics on the yaxis:

set ytics font ", 30"

For both axis at the same time:

set tics font ", 30"

This is what bothered me for ages, how to set font size without knowing the current font. Thank you. – orion Jun 18 '15 at 09:47
