Subject: Is it possible to get a downward pointing solid triangle plotting symbol in R?

Thanks again Jan.? That is lovely and clean and I probably should have
seen that option.
I had anxieties about the portability of using text.? (The function will
end up in my
https://github.com/cpsyctc/CECPfuns package so I'd like it to be fairly
immune to character
sets and different platforms in different countries.
I'm morphing this question a lot now but I guess it's still on topic
really.? I know
I need to put in some time to understand the complexities of R and
platforms (I'm
pretty exclusively on Linux, Ubuntu or Debian now so have mostly done
the ostrich thing
about these issues though I do hit problems exchanging things with my
Spanish speaking
colleagues).? Jan or anyone: any simple reassurance or pointers to
resources I should
best use for homework about these issues?
TIA (again!)
Chris
