That seems backwards to me.  I'd begin with the pdf() call, then do the
plot, then dev.off().  Maybe that's what you meant: if not, I've no
idea what you did.

That's a fairly low res png file, not a pdf file, but even so, it
doesn't look like font = 2 to me.  It's a considerably larger cex
value than the other text, but it's still not bold.

Decide after seeing what it looks like printed.
