Change font type in tikztimingtable without displacing signals

Question

I decided to play a little bit with the tikztimingtable, however I'm not sure that I "like" the font used in the signal labels

enter image description here

So I tried to change it by adding a [font=\rmfamily] in front of the first label. However this resulted in the signals getting displaced (see image below)

As you can see the signals no longer reaches the t_10. The code is down below. Is it possible to change the font to the roman family?

\begin{tikztimingtable}
        handshake\_out\_RPi     & [thin] 3L 6H 6L 9H 6L\\
        data\_out\_RPi          & [thin] 3Z[black] 6D 6Z[black] 9D 6Z[black]\\
        handshake\_out\_UR5         & [thin] 6L 6H 9L 6H 3L\\
\extracode
\begin{pgfonlayer}{background}
\vertlines[help lines, dotted]{0,3,...,30}
\foreach \i [count=\col from 0] in {0,3,...,30}
    \node[font=\scriptsize] at (\i,3) {$t_{\col}$};
\end{pgfonlayer}
 \end{tikztimingtable}%

And with the roman family font:

\begin{tikztimingtable}
[font = \rmfamily]      handshake\_out\_RPi     & [thin] 3L 6H 6L 9H 6L\\
                        data\_out\_RPi          & [thin] 3Z[black] 6D 6Z[black] 9D 6Z[black]\\
                        handshake\_out\_UR5         & [thin] 6L 6H 9L 6H 3L\\
\extracode
\begin{pgfonlayer}{background}
\vertlines[help lines, dotted]{0,3,...,30}
\foreach \i [count=\col from 0] in {0,3,...,30}
    \node[font=\scriptsize] at (\i,3) {$t_{\col}$};
\end{pgfonlayer}
 \end{tikztimingtable}%

I guess that the changing font affects also the spacing. Try to change only for the label \textrm{handshake\_out\_RPi}. — Sigur, Apr 27 '15 at 09:22
Sigur, thank you. That works. Do you know how i can add some spacing between the signals, and increase the signal's height? — Nicolai Anton Lynnerup, Apr 27 '15 at 09:27
Since I don't know how the signal was drawn it is difficulty to say. But try to scale only the y coordinates. Use \begin{tikztimingtable}[yscale=1.1] for example to increase 10%. — Sigur, Apr 27 '15 at 09:29

As Sigur suggested, this is the answer for my question:

\begin{tikztimingtable}[yscale=1.5]
        \texttt{Handshake out RPi}      & [thin] 4L 8H 8L 12H 8L\\
        \texttt{Data out RPi}           & [thin] 4Z[black] 8D 8Z[black] 12D 8Z[black]\\
        \texttt{Handshake out UR5}      & [thin] 8L 8H 12L 8H 4L\\
        %\textsf{•}
\extracode
\begin{pgfonlayer}{background}
\vertlines[help lines, dotted]{0,4,...,40}
\foreach \i [count=\col from 0] in {0,4,...,40}
    \node[font=\scriptsize] at (\i,2) {$t_{\col}$};
\end{pgfonlayer}
\end{tikztimingtable}%

Where the yscale option increases the heights of the signals. So it now looks beautiful:
