Hi, I am using pygmt 0.9. But whenever I am trying to use any parameters from pygmt.config it is showing too many warnings. Why it is happening? > import pygmt > fig = pygmt.Figure() > pygmt.config(FONT = ‘18p’) and it showing these many warnings and error as well. > gmt [WARNING]: Length o not supported - revert to default unit [point] > gmt [WARNING]: aut not a valid number and may not be decoded properly. > gmt [WARNING]: Representation of font size not recognised. Using default. > gmt [ERROR]: Unrecognized keyword FONT\_SUBTITLE. > gmt [WARNING]: Length o not supported - revert to default unit [cm] > gmt [WARNING]: aut not a valid number and may not be decoded properly. > gmt [WARNING]: Length o not supported - revert to default unit [cm] > gmt [WARNING]: aut not a valid number and may not be decoded properly. > gmt [ERROR]: MAP\_FRAME\_AXES given illegal value (auto)! > gmt [WARNING]: Length o not supported - revert to default unit [cm] > gmt [WARNING]: aut not a valid number and may not be decoded properly. > gmt [ERROR]: MAP\_FRAME\_WIDTH given illegal value (autc)! > gmt [WARNING]: Length o not supported - revert to default unit [cm] > gmt [WARNING]: aut not a valid number and may not be decoded properly. > gmt [WARNING]: Length o not supported - revert to default unit [cm] > gmt [WARNING]: aut not a valid number and may not be decoded properly. > gmt [WARNING]: Length o not supported - revert to default unit [cm] > gmt [WARNING]: aut not a valid number and may not be decoded properly. > gmt [WARNING]: Length o not supported - revert to default unit [cm] > gmt [WARNING]: aut not a valid number and may not be decoded properly. > gmt [WARNING]: Length o not supported - revert to default unit [cm] > gmt [WARNING]: aut not a valid number and may not be decoded properly. > 3 GMT Defaults conversion errors in file /home/lalit/.gmt/sessions/gmt\_session.393563/gmt.conf.2!

Hello @lalit.seismo, it looks like that there is something wrong in your config file at “/home/lalit/.gmt/sessions/gmt\_session.393563/gmt.conf.2”. For the parameters `FONT_SUBTITLE`, `MAP_FRAME_AXES`, and `MAP_FRAME_WIDTH` no valid numbers or units seem to be given. ---

It’s also likely that you have an very old GMT version installed and PyGMT used that one instead of the one installed by anaconda. Or, you may have a “gmt.conf” file in your home directory or current directoy. ---

Thank you. I’ll take a look at this.
