graph tick label size

Hi R-users,
I'm running R under Unix and producing postscript output of graphs.
Soemtimes, some tick axis labels disappear from my output.
eg if I have a vector
months <- c("J","F","M","A","M","J","J","A","S","O","N","D")
Then the "M" and one or 2 other letters are dropped from the axis.
This seems to be a size problem, but the spacing looks fine to me (all
the letters could easily be seen if they were all there). So my
question is, can I override what R is doing to the tick labels, without making the
labels smaller? I searched the help files but couldn't find anything specifically on this.
Not directly, but you can fake by plotting the stuff in two chunks as in:
plot(1:12, xaxt="n")
months <- c("J","F","M","A","M","J","J","A","S","O","N","D")
temp <- seq(1, 12, 2)
axis(1, temp, labels=months[temp])
temp <- seq(2, 12, 2)
axis(1, temp, labels=months[temp])
