Thank you for your replay, Sarah!

I use MacOSX, X11.
I took an example from the legend help:

x <- 1:5; y1 <- 1/x; y2 <- 2/x
 plot(rep(x, 2), c(y1, y2), type="n", xlab="x", ylab="y")
 lines(x, y1); lines(x, y2, lty=2)
 legend("topright", legend = c("A", "B", "ABCABCABC", "D"),
                lty = 1:2, xjust = 1, yjust = 1,
                title = "Line Types", horiz = T)

The legend is horizontal, and there are four entries. All entries have the same 
width (the width of "ABCABCABC", because it is the longest). Is there a 
possibility to change the arguments of the legend so that all entries get only 
the width they need (and that the legend in this example fits entirely within 
the plot)?
