Difference in client vs. server graphics defaults

I am having trouble with the difference between default graphic settings on my client machine and the instance of R on our company's server. I created a script locally that output graphs, but when I run it on the server the output graphs have titles running past the margins, legends improperly placed, etc. I checked the default par() settings and found differences between my machine and the server's R instance in 6 parameters. I attempted to set the server-side par() settings to mimic my client machine, but I cannot change the three read-only settings of cra, cxy, and din, and the graphs still look distorted. Is there another way to make the two sets of defaults equal each other? I am using R 2.6.1 on the server and 2.7.0 on my client computer, but I am doubtful that this would have an effect. Any ideas?
Since we can't reproduce what you've done, it's hard to pinpoint the problem exactly. I suggest you start with a very simple plot, and create that on your machine and the server. Then gradually build up the plot until it looks like the one you want. That way you should be able to find the offending line of code. Also, if you write the graphs to file (using png, or whatever), then you don't need to worry about the device or character sizes, since you can explicitly define them. Finally, get your copy of R updated. You should eliminate version issues for your own sanity at least. ----- Regards, Richie. Mathematical Sciences Unit HSL
