Making those labels look right when combining graphs always
requires a bit of trial and error. The look of these labels
is governed by sub-options of the axis label options, see
-help axis label options-. Probably the most useful ones are
-labsize()- and -angle()-, for a silly demonstration see the
example below:
*---------- begin example -------------------
sysuse auto, clear
scatter mpg gear_ratio if foreign == 1, ///
name(for, replace) ///
ylab(5(10)45, angle(90))
scatter mpg gear_ratio if foreign == 0, ///
name(dom, replace) ///
ylab(5(10)45, labsize(vsmall))
grc1leg for dom
*------------- end example -------------------
( For more on how to use examples I sent to statalist see:

Hope this helps,
Maarten
