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.

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
