[R] Overlap of leaf labels

[Ivan Calandra]

Hi again,

Have you also tried cex.lab? And values <0.8, maybe 0.5 or even 0.3?

Output as Pdf/Ps shouldn't be a problem, or is it?

I cannot help you more without a reproducible example (read the posting 
guide, it's linked at the bottom of every email from the list), though 
even with it, I'm not sure I would be able to help you (but others would!)

HTH,
Ivan

PS: for more answers, don't write offlist!
