[R] fonts in mosaic

[Michael Friendly]

If you are doing multiple plots like this, there is no way I know of
to specify the fonts for labeling *once* for all such plots.  However,
you can do something like this to save typing and keep things consistent:

my.largs <- list(
     gp_labels = gpar(fontsize = 12, fontfamily = "calibri"),
     gp_varnames = gpar(fontsize = 16, fontfamily = "calibri"))

mosaic(UCBAdmissions, labeling_args=my.largs)
mosaic(UCBAdmissions, labeling_args=my.largs, shade=TRUE)

etc.
