[R] 2.7.0 graphics changes and png devices

[Prof Brian Ripley]

The titles are in bold.  Because the text is small, the weight is lower 
than in full-sized plots.

The difference from 2.6.2 is that the text is correctly sized for the 
default 72dpi plots.  Try something like

png(width=7, height=7, units="in", res=96)

for comparability with windows().
