[R] ggplot2: font size mismatch for pdf output

Thanks for the bug report.  I've fixed it by changing the default dpi
to 72, and passing res = dpi to the raster devices.  However, in light
of the fact that most devices don't support dpi, I wonder if using
units (like the raster devices) would be more appropriate.  Is there
any likelihood that the vector devices support will support the units
argument in the future?

(I also added support for the tiff device, and fixed a severe bug with
postscript output)
