I seem to have solved my own question by setting the user scale
to the size of the window in inches, converting the point size
into inches, and going from there.  This works well for all
sizes of windows. It doesn't change the spacing when windows are
resized, but I can live with that.

There is nothing like posting to R-help to stimulate one's own
thoughts.
