Well, is it `titles' (subject) or `x- and y-labels', and if the latter do 
you mean 'labels' (as in axis) or 'xlab' (as in title)?

Do you want some or all of the annotation in Times or Arial, or some in 
each.  (On devices which support Arial it is the default.)

And on which device and which version of R?

If this is on Windows, see the rw-FAQ and the help on Rdevga, and choose 
an appropriate value of the graphics par 'font' (normally 1 for Arial and 
6 for Times).  Otherwise, consider par(family).
