I go back and forth from Linux to Windoze often and have to run the same r-scripts. I was wondering why it seems like the default plotting size of labels, symbols, titles, etc seem smaller in Linux than in Windows. Is there a quick way to remedy this so I don't have to manually change the cex settings from 1 to 1.3 every time I go from Windoze to Linux?
I think part of the problem is that the font used on the X11 device is Helvetica and the default font for Windows is Arial. The default point size is 12 in both cases, but just because two fonts have the same nominal point size does not mean that they physically are the same size. It should theoretically be possible to set yourself up with either Helvetica on Windows or Arial on Linux, but I don't know of a (free) source for such fonts. Paul
