### What is the default size of `geom_text()` and how can I change the font size of `geom_text()`?

The default font size of `geom_text()` is 3.88.
The default font size of `geom_text()` is about 3.87.

```{r}
GeomLabel$default_aes$size
get_geom_defaults(geom_text)$size
```

You can change the size using the `size` argument in `geom_text()` for a single plot. If you want to use the same updated size, you can set this with `update_geom_defaults()`, e.g. `update_geom_defaults("text", list(size = 6))`.

Should we recommend theme(geom = element_geom()) instead of update_geom_defaults()?

Yeah, that's the question... In general, should update_geom_defaults() be soft-deprecated after the next release? I think theme(geom = element_geom()) is more preferable in more cases, but we need to discuss and decide what the official recommendation should be.

Yeah good point, I've made #6085 as a breakout for discussing this
