musik,
I am not aware of any easy way to control the font properties for each
individual item in a legend box. I would suppose that it would be possible
to obtain the list of Text objects from the legend object (*after* creating
the legend object), and then modify their color properties based on the
string that it contains. Note that I have never personally tried this.
As far as I can tell, the text for the legend elements are black by
default. Note that you can set the font properties for all Text objects in
a legend when creating the legend with the 'prop' kwarg.
I hope this helps,
Ben Root
