[R-SIG-Mac] point size in svg

[Spencer Graves]

 ����� Thanks to David Winsemius for his reply.� His attachment came 
through and displayed consistent with the R documentation.� Thus, the 
cex.axis and cex arguments work fine with R 3.5.1 (2018-07-02) and 
"Feather Spray" on OS X 10.11.6, but they don't work properly with the 
current version of R under the current version of macOS.

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.
