That seems backwards to me.  I'd begin with the pdf() call, then do the
plot, then dev.off().  Maybe that's what you meant: if not, I've no
idea what you did.

That's a fairly low res png file, not a pdf file, but even so, it
doesn't look like font = 2 to me.  It's a considerably larger cex
value than the other text, but it's still not bold.

Decide after seeing what it looks like printed.

Hi,

Taking a wild guess, it looks to me that you might have overlaid
several times the same text,

plot.new()
text(0.5,0.5,rep("test",10))

Hi all,

I have written a note near each of my graphs using mtext.
mtext(text,side=1,line=4,cex=0.5,adj=0)

Then I have exported the graphs as a PDF file.
pdf(file=name,paper='a4',width=7.27,height=10.69)

The mtext appears OK in R. But it looks like it is bolded in the PDF file.

I am not sure if this is actually my monitor/computer's problem. But I want
to see if it can be fixed in R.

Many thanks,
Chris

Problem solved. Yes, I found that the text is overlaid several times!
Thank you very much for your help, greatly appreciated. :)
