Thanks to Peter Langfelder and David Winsemius for their replies.
It must be Apple specific. I transferred the R script with the
svg files between my Mac and a Windows 7 machine. The svg files created
on the Windows machine displayed properly on both machines. The svg
files created on the Mac showed the same tiny fonts on both machines.
Following David's suggestion, I tried
svg('cex-svg-Helvetica.svg', family="Helvetica") and
svg('cex-svg-serif.svg', family="serif") with otherwise the same script
as before with the same results.
I will repost this to r-sig-mac R <r-sig-...@r-project.org>.
Thanks again to Peter and David.

Hello, All:
I'm unable to control the font size in plots to svg. Consider
the following:
svg('cex-svg.svg')
cex. <- 5
plot(1:2, cex.axis=cex.)
text(1:2, 1:2, c('as', 'DF'),
cex=cex.)
dev.off()
When I open this in Gimp 2.10.4, the font size is tiny. I also
tried:
svg('cex-svg.svg', width=15, height=15, pointsize=24)
cex. <- 5
plot(1:2, cex.axis=cex.)
text(1:2, 1:2, c('as', 'DF'),
cex=cex.)
dev.off()
What do I do to control the font size in svg?
I'm unable to reproduce. (I get very large fonts in all three viewing
methods: Rstudio plot panel, ImageViewer and GIMP)
Ubuntu 18.04
R 3.15.2
Gimp 2.10.12
Looking at ?svg makes me think you should be looking at the Cairo
Fonts section of ?X11.
Best;
David.
Thanks,
