NCL 5.1.1 Font problems

Dear all,

1st problem:

Try to generate 2 by 2 panel plot:

 plot = new(4, graphic)
...............
 res@mpMinLonF = 0. ; select a subregion
 res@mpMaxLonF<mailto:res@mpMaxLonF> = 360.
 res@mpMinLatF<mailto:res@mpMinLatF> = -70.
 res@mpMaxLatF<mailto:res@mpMaxLatF> = 70.
................
 res@gsnLeftString<mailto:res@gsnLeftString> = "a) DJF,"
 res@gsnLeftString<mailto:res@gsnLeftString> = "b) DJF,"
 res@gsnLeftString<mailto:res@gsnLeftString> = "c) DJF,"
 res@gsnLeftString<mailto:res@gsnLeftString> = "d) DJF,"
................
 gsn_panel(wks,plot,(/2,2/),res_P) ; now draw as right panel.
If I use such code the plot looks ok. However, if I change MinLatF and MaxLatF to -60 and 60, a) and c) string possition will be higher then b) and d).

2nd problem:

Similar plot but 3 by 4 panel plot:

  plot_R(2) = gsn_csm_contour_map_overlay(wks,STONR(3,:,:),STONR(3,:,:), res_R, res_cor)

If I change "a) DJF cor. b/t 21st TPC & 20th IOD tele" to "a) DJF cor. b/t 21st TPC & 20th IOD tele." then won't plot that panel and get error message:

fatal:MapV40DHDrawMapList: ARPRAM - ALGORITHM FAILURE
fatal:PlotManagerDraw: error in plot draw
fatal:_NhlPlotManagerDraw: Draw error
