The new "cairo" X11 device with antialiasing off can indeed look awful , but if you really don't want antialiasing then try using the good old non-cairo X11 device with the 'type' argument:
> x11(type="Xlib") > plot(1:10)
thanks. I found this out while struggling with my original problem (cf. other mails in this thread) and probably will use "Xlib" anyway since cairo seems simply to slow for interactve use (don't won't to wait repeatedly for some seconds ...). I actually would argue that at the current state of affairs it would have been better to have "Xlib" kept as default. joerg
