I simply want to replace the font R uses on mosaic (whatever it is)
by a font of my choice (say Calibri or Arial)
because I need to embed the R charts in a PowerPoint
presentation and want the fonts to match.
Ah, ok, sorry I misread your mail.
And I want the most simple way of accomplishing this.
I worked my way through the strucplot vignette,
but I could not extract enough information there.
Is there some information about the proper font names
to use in R?
Hmm, if you look at
help("gpar", package = "grid")
it allows specification of a "fontfamily" argument. But I'm not sure how this
can be utilized to specify certain TTFs. But I remember seeing posts on the
mailing list related to this.
In any case, I don't think that this is specific to "vcd" but pertains to
"grid" in general.
Rather, it is specific to the device, which EM has not told us. But
win.metafile() defaults to Arial, and how to select other fonts is in
the rw-FAQ.

Personally, I simply change the size of the device I'm plotting on. When
I plot on a large device, the fonts will be relatively smaller, and vice
versa. This is what I do when including graphics in PDF files (papers,
slides, reports, etc.).
For fine control, you can set the arguments of the labeling function
employed. ?strucplot shows that the default is ?labeling_border which
has several arguments. For example you can set the graphical parameters
of the labels (gp_labels) or the graphical parameters of the variable
names (gp_varnames). Both arguments take ?gpar lists ("grid" graphical
parameters). For example you may do
