Manipulate size on a single-axis ordiplot graph

I am drawing a single axis graph for my ordinations data using ordiplot function from Vegan package the code is as follows:

ordiplot(data, choices = 1)

I am interested in the first axis only, and what i get is this:

graph.

my problem is that I am not able to make the font larger. I tried "cex", "cex.lab", "cex.main", "cex.axis" and nothing works. this generic font size is far to small for my publication - I'd appreciate some input from more experienced R coders.

(maybe there are some other, better than ordiplot, function that would make a decent single-axis graph - suggestions are welcome)

It's a little infelicity in the implementation of ordiplot() when used with a single axis: cex is an argument to ordiplot() yet this doesn't get passed on to linestack(), which does the actual plotting in this case. Only additional arguments passed via ... get passed to the linestack() call.

You can regain some control by using linestack() directly:

linestack(scores(data, choices = 1, display = "sites"),
          cex = 1.1, col = "blue")
linestack(scores(data, choices = 1, display = "species"),
          cex = 0.8, col = "red", side = "left")

See ?linestack for more details.
