I am trying to add some italicized text to a graphic using the code that appears below. For the italic text, kerning is not ideal -- spacing between letters is larger than I expected.
Is there a simple solution to this?

Use fewer tildes?



Dennis

plot(1, type="n", axes=F, xlab="", ylab="")
mtext(side=3, line=-0, "Some Text")
mtext(side=3, line=-1, expression(italic(Some) ~~ Text))
mtext(side=3, line=-2, expression(italic(Some) ~~ italic(Text)))
