[R] embedFonts() and bounding box

[Prof Brian Ripley]

As embedFonts creates a new file, the bounding box of the original one is 
not relevant.  (Yes, outfile = file by default, but it is still a new 
file.)

I guess the switches

     -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=w -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=h

might help to create the new file with the bounding box you want.
