Yes, it's a matter of the X - font server of your X-window
system. As help(png) clearly notes, png() itself is also using
the x11() internals.
For me, the labels are all well readable for the above example;
even here (at work) where the font server is still not providing
correct font sizes too often for my taste -- e.g. when drawing graphs
with the Rgraphviz package {from bioconductor}.
