Follow-up Comment #1:

The sample code does not execute correctly.


octave:4> clf
octave:5> sombrero 
octave:6> print -dpng ./MyPlot.png -S4000,3000 -r1000 
error: 'r1000' undefined near line 1 column 43


What Octave probably did was produce a plot of the desired size, but the
resolution argument was ignored so it used screen resolution of ~96 DPI.  This
would certainly make any fonts appear very, very small (~100/1000 or 10% of
normal).

If you want to set the size of an image for printing use the paperXXX
properties of the figure object.


paperorientation
paperposition
papersize
papertype
paperunits


The properties are inter-related so setting something like "papertype" to
"usletter" will automatically set the "papersize".

>From the command, I think you were trying to get a 4"x3" image at 1000 DPI. 
To do that, set the size for printing and then issue the print command.


set (gcf, "paperunits", "inches", "paperposition", [0, 0, 4, 3]);
print -r1000 MyPlot.png
