Hello, All:
I'm unable to control font size in plots created by "svg" in R
3.6.0 on macOS Mojave 10.14.5. Consider the following:
svg('cex-svg.svg')
cex. <- 5
plot(1:2, cex.axis=cex.)
text(1:2, 1:2, c('as', 'DF'),
cex=cex.)
dev.off()
When I run this in R 3.5.2 under Windows 7, it works fine. In R
3.6.0 under macOS 10.14.5, I get tiny fonts. Changing "cex." has no
impact on the result. A question about this to R-Devel generated
replies from Peter Langfelder and David Winsemius, who noted that it
worked fine under Ubuntu 18.04 (supposedly with R 3.15.2 -- probably R
3.5.2, but I'm not sure). I experimented with the width, height,
pointsize and family arguments for "svg", without solving this problem.
I believe this problem is fairly recent: I just looked at svg
files I created with R on this same computer probably last fall, and the
font size looks reasonable -- better than what I get today. I'm not 100
percent sure, but I think I was able to control the font size with the
cex and cex.axis arguments with those earlier versions of R and macOS.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Spencer Graves
