[R] 'font' argument in "text" function unevaluated

[Luis Ridao Cruz]

R-help,

I have a plot in which I use the following:

text(1 , 2, expression(61*degree ~ paste("N")), font = 2)

but the "expression(61*degree ~ paste("N"))" will not come out in font
= 2.
However "cex=2" will work.

What is the problem?


Thanks in advance.
