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.

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.
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?
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
