Re: [R] short plots: lwd, margin and postscript behavior
Don't feel alone Cézar; I have had the same problems getting par commands to work when making *.pdf files. I also run R 2.0.1 and use par() after opening the device. Sometimes, the par() commands work; sometimes it opens a new windows device. Maybe something with MS Windows is causing this.

Re: [R] short plots: lwd, margin and postscript behavior
As I have already seen several times in this thread: * par() applies to the current device. * Setting it before postscript() will have no effect on the postscript plot. I am not at all sure what you are using fin= for, but that is what you are seeing the effects of in the margins on-screen. Your margins are too small and your title text is too small, but that is what you asked for The posting guide does give good advice: please spend an hour or so reading it and its references.
