Similarly, using SetBold() or SetColor() has no effect.  But note that before initialization of my associated vtkContextView, SetColor(), SetBold() and SetFontSize() all work just fine.  The above code needs to run after initialization.  And again, it worked with no issues before.

I will see about getting an additional regression test in to verify
that this works. Looking at the code, it should work (and without
calling Update() on the axis). We use this in ParaView through the GUI
for example.
