[R] Trellis.par.set/ family/ global change font?

[Renaud Lancelot]

A radical solution is to edit the file .../etc/Rdevga and to change
the definition of the first set of fonts, e.g.

# TT Arial : plain
# TT Arial : bold
# TT Arial : italic
# TT Arial : bold&italic

TT Times New Roman : plain
TT Times New Roman : bold
TT Times New Roman : italic
TT Times New Roman : bold&italic

Best,

Renaud
