Dear Paul, How are you generating (saving) your plots? I tend to play with the pointsize argument of the graphical device, something in conjunction with the size argument in ggplot2 (size of points and lines). Working like that I get plots with nicely propotioned labels without overlaps.

When I shrink the graphs to fit in a single column, the graph is clear but the axis and tick labels are way too small. I have increased the font sizes by manipulating the grid. However, when I do this the tick labels and axis labels get very close or even overlap, especially on the y-axis. Is there a way to increase the margin between tick labels and axis labels with ggplot or by manipulating the grid?
