the group size fonts seem too small #103

Also for .1w the group size fonts, and the rest of it too, seem awfully small; is there a downside to making them about 30% larger?

The group size fonts are deliberately smaller so it's easier to distinguish them from group labels when group labels are numeric. In the example below, I've:

The reason for shifting the size elements up a bit is so that when there are longer text labels for groups, the size labels don't overrun as much. Compare the output of the following commands before and after the aesthetic changes:

library(granovaGG)
granovagg.1w(data = mpg$hwy, group = mpg$manufacturer)
