The command below changes to font for the entire axis.

        set(gca,'FontSize',20,'Fontname','arial');

The xtick and ytick properties define the location of the tick marks. The text 
which accompanies the tick marks is defined by xticklabel and yticklabel. The 
font properties for the tick labels are inherited from the axis object.

Regarding the xlabel and ylabel objects, try ...

        xlabel ("xlabel", "fontweight", "bold")
        ylabel ("ylabel", "fontweight", "bold")

or ...

        hx = xlabel ("xlabel");
        hy = ylabel ("ylabel");
        set (hx, "fontweight", "bold")
        set (hy, "fontweight", "bold")

or ...

        set (get (gca, "xlabel"), "fontweight", "bold")
        set (get (gca, "ylabel"), "fontweight", "bold")

If any of this does not work for you, please tell us which OS and version of 
Octave you are running.
