HiThere are a couple of plotmath expressions that control text size, plus in this case you could just drop the superscripting (which I believe was Goran's advice) ...
plot(1:10, type="n")
text(2, 8, expression(paste(bolditalic(p)^"*"))) #Rolf's original
text(2, 6, expression(paste(bolditalic(p)^textstyle("*"))))
text(2, 4, expression(paste(bolditalic(p)*"*")))

I don't know of an automatic way, but of course you can make it as large as you'd like. plot(1:10, type="n") text(2, 8, expression(paste(bolditalic(p)^"*"))) #Rolf's original text(2, 6,expression(paste(bolditalic(p),"*", sep = ""))) #Goran's suggestion text(2, 3, expression(paste(bolditalic(p)^"*"))) # repeat Rolf's original text(locator(1), "*", cex=3) # click on the asterisk: how big do you want it?
