Hi, thanks for all your hints. > One of the points of my.symbols is that you can define your own symbols to > use with it (hence the my). I tried this and it works fine. I need all the symbols and I will probably not trace them, but copy the svg code and modify them from http://commons.wikimedia

Hi Thomas, I get the zodiac symbols okay without the trailing \u3030 on FC9 Linux and R-2.8.1. Perhaps it's only on Windows. Might try it at work tomorrow where I can boot into WinXP. Jim __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mai
