Hi, I'd like to make the text in my legends italic, but I can't figure out how to do so. font=3 doesn't work. Googling brings up the possibility of expression(italic()), which produces italics, but I can't get this to work with my label data, which is a vector of strings: legend(locator(1), legend = levels(factor(label.vector)), col = plotting.colours, pch =plotsym.bw,

I'm using the image.plot() function (fields package), but I want to enlarge the characters of the legend (as they are too small to be read in a combined figure), but there is no way I can find a command to do this. I can enlarge the legend bar (with legend.witdh), axis character size (cex.axis) or the total legend size (legend.shrink), but not the character size of the legend characters
