Oh also, following from my earlier post, you probably want to just use
the palettes for inserting symbols and the like.

I guess this is fairly simple to answer, but I've almost thrown the
keyboard against the wall after struggling with it - so bear with
me...

I need to produce an article-quality plot of some sets of data, so I
prefer to choose the color/symbols used.
Therefore, instead of the usual PlotMarkers -> Automatic, I tried to
use something along the lines of PlotMarkers -> {"a","b","c","d"}
where "a" etc. stand for a copy/paste from the help system of the
special characters under:ShapesIconsAndRelatedCharacters.

I tried the backslash notation. I tried using doublequotes and not
using them.

What I obtained is a wild variety of plots, not one of them correct.
And I did not even try yet to change the symbols colors!
Surely such a basic feature should be easier to obtain - so how do you
fine-tunes your data plots???


thank you!
