Can anyone else verify that this font warning is a bug in 10.0.1?

This looks like a simple bug to me. M10.0.1, MacOS 10.9.5 Macbook Pro f = Cos[x] Plot[f, {x, -1, 1}, PlotLabel -> f] Returns a pink graphic and throws a warning: "specified setting for FontSize cannot be used"

Hi, I'm running the same system as you Craig. Just typing your code into a new .NB worked fine. Pls see attached. No warning messages. Cheers, David Attachments:

Found it. This was in my old Library/.../Kernel/init.m SetOptions[Plot,PlotStyle-> {Thick}, BaseStyle-> Medium] Removing BaseStyle-> Medium appears to fix the problem.

Good that you found this. I didn't have the patience to go through 10 years of stuff that accumulated. I generally don't edit my init.m file, but some of the packages probably did. (When I saw my problems, I had not loaded anything, but there appears to be a mechanism that loads some stuff automatically and silently.) The question is why this caused a problem now, as well as the similar problems I saw during the beta. I did file a bug report during the beta test. george

Thanks, George's approach worked, but now have a bit of work to do as I reconstruct some things I had. Bruce, after copying the previous contents back into Library/Mathematica, I tried your approach two different ways. I tried the shift-launch, but that didn't eliminate the problem. I also tried removing Library/FrontEnd/10.0 Caches/ and that didn't work either. I also tried the delete-output reevaluate and that didn't solve it either. I have a working solution, but the puzzle remains for another day. Thanks, Craig

It could be a glitch in one of the Cache files that is starting part of the graphics system in an odd state. These can be reset by holding down just the SHIFT key as Mathematica launches. If that does not help, does it happen in a new notebook? It could be something in the graphic from many tries ago that was copied over into the new graphics as they were made. My usual suggestion for this sort of warning is to delete the output cell and re-run the input.

Thanks Bianca and Rafael, Hmmm, strange... The pink graphic and warning do not appear for me in M9. I am not seeing anything in my init.m(s) that is obviously linked to an Option for Plot.
