I'm trying to adjust the tick labels on a vertical axis. I wanted them
to be horizontal instead of vertical.  In the case of a vertical axis,
las = 1 is the same as las = 2.  

That's fine except that if the font size for the labels is reduced
below the default, they no longer align with the tick marks.  I can't
adjust using adj because it adjusts only the horizontal placement.
The vertical alignment that is available in text() is not available
with axis().

My question is this:

Is it possible without fudging with the at setting to get the labels
to align with the tick marks?

BTW: is there any documentation describing what text() does
differently with hershey fonts and "standard" fonts.  Seems to have
something to do with a different default value of the second value in
adj -- but that's not quite it either.


Thanks

Yesterday, I asked:

It has changed to:

Is it possible even WITH fudging with the at setting .... ?

Ross Ihaka tells me there is a bug, so I set about adjusting the at
setting, but it had no effect.

Has anyone managed a work around?
