[Rd] svg ignores cex.axis in R3.5.1 on macOS

[MacQueen, Don]

Seems ok on my system. Axis label size changes when cex.axis does.

## tested in the middle of another long session, so many additional packages are attached, including some personal packages not available elsewhere

    I just confirmed that when I created a file like this under Windows 7 
    and brought it back to my Mac, it displayed fine.  I have not tried this 
    with the current version of R under Windows 7 nor an old version of R on 
    my Mac.  Thanks.  Spencer
