R help - Mar 2005 - font sizes

I'm trying to use the pdf() function, and would like to increase the font
size for slide-presentation  purposes. Changing the
argument `pointsize' doesn't seem to do anything.

Anyone come across this or know what to do?

thanks

Simon Bond.

It does, e.g. compare pointsize=8 / pointsize=14

If you want something different, maybe setting argument "cex" (and 
friends) in par() does what you want. See ?par.
