Dear R-experts---is there a relatively low-pain way to get unicode characters into a plot to a pdf device? pdf(file="cardsymbols.pdf") plot( 0, xlim=c(0,5), ylim=c(0,5), type="n") text(1,1, "♠") text(2,2, "♥") text(3,3, "♦") text(4,4, "♣") dev.off() (these are the characters that I need the most NOW, but this is a more generic question.)
The last examples in ?points should be reviewed and tested. It is cited by the ?plotmath page as a way of getting at symbols.
