# LabelStyle doesn't affect PlotLegends [duplicate]

Setting the default font for PlotLegends

Using version 9

The option setting for LabelStyle in plots (I've tried this in Plot[], DateListPlot[], and ListLinePlot[]) doesn't appear to affect PlotLegends[] at least the way I've tried it:

Plot[{Sin[x], Cos[x]}, {x, 0, 10},
LabelStyle -> (FontFamily -> "Helvetica Neue"),
PlotLegends -> {"Sin", "Cos"}]

Plot[{Sin[x], Cos[x]}, {x, 0, 10},
LabelStyle -> (FontFamily -> "Helvetica Neue"),
PlotLegends -> {"Sin", "Cos", LabelStyle -> (FontFamily -> "Helvetica Neue")}]


Both sets of code give the exact (to an eye) output:

Note the legend font remains in some default (TimesNewRoman) setting, where everything else in the plot properly goes to "Helvetica Neue".

I've also tried wrapping Style[] around each of the legend names to no avail.

Any thoughts on how to do this or work around it?

I stumbled upon a workaround, but it doesn't seem very elegant to me so I remain open to other solutions:

Plot[{Sin[x], Cos[x]}, {x, 0, 10},
LabelStyle -> (FontFamily -> "Helvetica Neue"),
PlotLegends ->
SwatchLegend[{"Sin",
"Cos"}, {LabelStyle -> (FontFamily -> "Helvetica Neue")}]]

I was about to ask, does it work within LineLegend? I assume from you update it does. – Mr.Wizard Dec 7 '12 at 18:19
@Mr.Wizard -- Yep, works with LineLegend too. Still can't think of a way to do it more directly. – Jagra Dec 7 '12 at 18:37
How about PlotLegends -> (Style[#, FontFamily -> "Helvetica Neue"] & /@ {"Sin", "Cos"})? – Mr.Wizard Dec 7 '12 at 18:44
The syntax description for PlotLegends suggests to me that there are no sub-options. The canonical way to style the legends would be to use one of the four xxLegend legends: The following legend constructors can be used to form commonly occurring legends: SwatchLegend, LineLegend, PointLegend, and BarLegend. – Sjoerd C. de Vries Dec 7 '12 at 18:54
