Hi Jim, thank you very much for your answers!

par(font=2)
perfect, thanks.

before calling legend.
If you just want a label as in your example, it might be easier to use:
boxed.labels(strptime("01/02/02","%d/%m/%y"),1.5,
"Beeblebrox",bg="lightblue",border=FALSE,col="white")
unfortunately this does not work. In the new code on http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:EurUsd.png I included the following: #library("plotrix") #boxed.labels(x=10800,y=1.5,labels="Beeblebrox",bg="steelblue",border=FALSE,col="white",font=2,cex=3,adj=0) which gives a much too smal box. Perhaps the boxsize is not adjusted if the "cex" argument is used for the text? Have a nice weekend, Thomas
