G'day,
Below is an example that you could use as a template. I agree, it's a
little cumbersome to type all these things, (you should see my keyboard
graveyard!). But ultimately, I think that there is great flexibility in
Mathematica plotting, once all the little things like Directives, Style,
are learnt.
d1 == Table[i, {i, 1, 10, 1.0}]
d2 == Table[20*Exp[i], {i, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0/9}]
ListPlot[{d1, d2}, PlotMarkers -> {Style["\!\(\*
StyleBox[\"\[FreakedSmiley]\",\nFontSize->18]\)", Bold], Style["\!\(\*
StyleBox[\"\[Euro]\",\nFontSize->18]\)", Black]}, Joined -> True,
PlotStyle -> {Directive[Blue], Directive[Yellow]},
GridLines -> Automatic,
GridLinesStyle -> Directive[Dashed],
FrameStyle -> {Directive[Green, 14, Bold],
Directive[Black, 14, Bold], Directive[Green, 14, Bold],
Directive[Blue, 14, Bold]},
PlotLabel ->
Text[Style["EURO VERSUS GREEK COFFEE", 20, FontFamily -> "Arial"]],
FrameLabel -> {Text[
Style["Post Recovery", Green, 18, FontFamily -> Symbol]],
Text[Style["Cost Value (\[Euro])", Bold, Black, 18]],
Text[Style["", Black, 18]],
Text[Style["Production Value", Blue, Bold, 18]]},
Epilog -> Inset[Column[
{Style["\[Euro] Cost", 20, Black],
Style["\[FreakedSmiley] Production", 20]}, Background -> White,
Frame -> True
], {8, 25}
],
Frame -> True,
Axes -> False,
ImageSize -> 500
]
Cheers,
Yas

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!
