The "print" command takes the font sizes from the object properties where 
possible. So, for instance, if the font size of the x-axis label is 12, then 
that will be used for the saved figure. Maybe this illustrates how things work:

--------
figure (1)
plot (rand(10,1));
set (gca,"fontsize",18); % set base font size for the axes
xlabel ("hello","fontsize",24) % make x-axis label with font size 24
ylabel ("world","fontsize",9) % make y-axis label with font size 9
print ("hello_world.eps","-depsc")
--------
