[R-SIG-Mac] point size in svg

[Spencer Graves]

Hi, Peter et al.:


       Thanks, Peter, for the information that it works for you.


       What do you suggest I do to try to correct a font misconfiguration?


       Sadly the problem did not disappear when I upgraded to 3.6.1; see 
sessionInfo below.


       Thanks,
       Spencer

A question about this to R-Devel generated replies from Peter Langfelder and David Winsemius, who noted that it worked fine under Ubuntu 18.04 (supposedly with R 3.15.2 -- probably R 3.5.2, but I'm not sure).

My Mac hardware is considered well past (Apple) end of life despite its functionality, so I cannot upgrade my OS. I'm attaching the file that is the result so Spencer can view it, although I suspect it will be scrubbed by the mail-server.
