Tiny fonts when using GR (Plots or not) in Jupyter

Specific Domains Visualization

High guys! A small glitch on GR when plotting in Jupyter is annoying me. When I plot something, the labels on the axes are very small and unreadable. This only happens on Jupyter, using GR directly or through Plots.jl. As an example of what I mean:

using Plots
gr()

x = 0.0:0.01:2
y = sin.(2π*x)
plot(x, y)

The output is:
sine

A solution is:

gr(html_output_format=:png)

but it is still kind of annoying.

There is no problem on the REPL.

Julia 1.0.0, generic binaries for linux x86-64 - Ubuntu 18.04

I upgraded all related packages and rebuilt them.

Indeed. Please see Tiny axis labels when using GR with Plots in IJulia · Issue #1746 · JuliaPlots/Plots.jl · GitHub for earlier reports of this issue.

This problem is specific to Firefox and has been fixed in GR master. I will tag a new version soon …

I really found it weird. No mentions on this mailing list? I guess I am one of the few still using Firefox. I should have looked through the issues more thoroughly. Thanks
