Gina,
How exactly are you setting the manual contour labels, and are you
setting them when you create individual plots? (You don't want to set
them when calling gsn_panel.)
Also, make sure you have res_at_gsnSpreadColors set to True.
Finally, it looks like you don't have a ".hluresfile" in your home
directory. This file customizes your NCL graphics, and in particular,
it changes the default font from "times-roman" to "helvetica", which
looks better.
For more information and a sample file, see:
