You would do better to use dev2bitmap().  In any case, please read the 
help for bitmap:

pointsize: The pointsize to be used for text: defaults to something
           reasonable given the width and height

      ...: Other parameters passed to 'postscript' or 'pdf'.

and you select a font via 'family' for all R graphics devices.
