Hey everyone,

I tried to plot some graphs today, but somehow the font for the labels is not sharp and the commands for the fontsize get ignored. I have tried downgrading Plots to 1.22, but that did not help. I also upgraded to 1.7rc3, which did nothing. It seems that Vegalite also ignores fontsize keywords.

Here is the picture

and the code:

```julia
plot(df.Date, df.PHPOE, label = "", color = :black, xlabelfontsize = 22, ylabelfontsize = 22, legendfontsize = 22)

```

To improve the resolution try: `using Plots; gr(dpi=600)`  
For the font size try `plot` keyword argument: `tickfontsize=22`

Could this be related to the new version of vscode having plots be png rather than svg by default?
