Dear R-Maillist members,

I would like to label the y-axis of a plot with a mathematical expression "sed.rate mm a-1", where the "-1" is printed subscript.

That's not a reproducible example.

I am using font.lab=15 for the x-axis. However, when plotting the y-axis with the expression-function it appears in a different font. Does anybody knows how to use font.lab=15 in the expression as well?

Only the use of 'family' is portable -- we have no idea what font 15 is, and AFAIK it is specific to the windows() family of devices. Plotmath will use the current family, e.g.

plot(1:10, ylab=expression(y^-1), family="serif")

uses the serif font (normally Times). So you should be able to set up a family to do this.

PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

PLEASE do, and supply the information asked for next time.
