Well, is it `titles' (subject) or `x- and y-labels', and if the latter
do
you mean 'labels' (as in axis) or 'xlab' (as in title)?

Do you want some or all of the annotation in Times or Arial, or some in 
each.  (On devices which support Arial it is the default.)

And on which device and which version of R?

If this is on Windows, see the rw-FAQ and the help on Rdevga, and choose 
an appropriate value of the graphics par 'font' (normally 1 for Arial
and
6 for Times).  Otherwise, consider par(family).

Hi
Almost all graphic manipulation is done by par() setting. Sometimes 
you can issue a par argument directly in plot() command so for 
Windows

plot(...., font.lab = integer.number.to specify.predefined.font)

however I believe that font issue is device and OS specific and you 
shall read (and try)

?par
?plot
?text
?axis
....

see also Rdevga file for predefined fonts
