    Bernard,

    The description of GRIDAL's internal parameter 'WLB' is as follows:

      The line width to be used for drawing labels. (Labels drawn using calls to
      the PLOTCHAR routine PLCHHQ are affected by this; those drawn using calls
      to the SPPS routine WTSTR are not.) A value less than or equal to zero
      implies that no change is to be made in the line width scale factor before
      drawing the labels. The default value of 'WLB' is 0; its value may be
      changed by calling GASETI or GASETR.

    The description of 'LTY' is as follows:

      The labelling type. The value 0 implies that the SPPS routine WTSTR is to
      be called to draw labels, the value 1 that the PLOTCHAR routine PLCHHQ is
      to be called, and the value 2 that the PLOTCHAR routine PLCHHQ is to be
      called and, in addition, the numeric-label strings are to be preprocessed
      to force the use of superscript scientific notation in place of the FORTRAN
      convention using "E". The default value of 'LTY' is 0; its value may be
      changed by calling GASETI or GASETR.

    So ... my guess is that you're setting 'WLB', but not 'LTY'. Since the
    default value of 'LTY' is zero, WTSTR is being called to draw the labels and
    the value of 'WLB' that you put in is not being used. Try setting 'LTY' to
    a 1 or a 2 and see if that works.
