strwidth(font=NULL)
If you look in the code you will see this is mentioned as a if/when possibility in several places. See also bug report PR#776, from December 2000, so this is probably in the Real Soon Now category. Paul Murrell might have a better estimate!

Would it be possible to give strwidth() and strheight() an argument "font",
that worked like the "cex" argument (i.e. defaults to current par("font"), but
can be overridden)? Then I could replace this:
R> oldpar <- par(font=2)
R> x <- strwidth("hello")
R> par(oldpar)
with this:
R> x <- strwidth("hello", font=2)
Thanks!
