R help - Mar 2015 - Vennerable Plots for Publications

Does anyone make Venn diagrams for publication using Vennerable ? I found that
the font size is too big when the plot is created at 300 DPI, and there's no
option to change it, even when the point size argument to the device is changed.

aVenn <- Venn(Sets = list(A = 1:5, B = 3:6))
png("forPublication.png", units = "in", h = 2.55, w = 2.4,
res = 300) # Changing pointsize to a smaller number has no effect on size of the
text.
plot(aVenn)
dev.off()

HI Dario,
Have you tried creating a larger PNG image and then shrinking the result
with an image manipulation program (e.g. GIMP)?

That is an adequate solution. It's always better if R package authors
don't hard-code graphics parameters, though.
