A propos of these symbols, Henrik Bengtsson (Lund University, Sweden)
posted to this list some time ago a very useful function ``plotSymbols'',
which can be slightly modified as follows:

plotSymbols <- function (fn=1) {
    i <- 0:255
    ncol <- 16
    opar <- par(cex.axis = 0.7, mar = c(3, 3, 3, 3) + 0.1)
    plot(i%%ncol, 1 + i%/%ncol, pch=i, font=fn, xlab = "", ylab = "", 
        axes = FALSE)
    axis(1, at = 0:15)
    axis(2, at = 1:16, labels = 0:15 * 16, las = 2)
    axis(3, at = 0:15)
    axis(4, at = 1:16, labels = 0:15 * 16 + 15, las = 2)
    par(opar)
}

You can use this function to see what you get under various font
specifications.  Of course it would help to know a priori that font
number 5 gave you the postscript symbols!

                                cheers,

                                        Rolf Turner
