Marc's proposed solution (appearing at the end of this email) is perfect --
thanks so much
However, some questions remain:
1. The following works:
plot(1, type="n")
text(1, 1, expression(symbol("\342")))
but this does not work (TEXT appears in a symbol font)
plot(1, type="n")
TEXT <- "\342"
text(1, 1, expression(symbol(TEXT)))
nor does this work (it yields: Error: could not find function "symbol")
plot(1, type="n")
TEXT <- symbol("\342")
text(1, 1, expression(TEXT))
Clearly, I do not understand the subtleties of plotmath. Could someone explain?
2. How would one learn that \342 corresponds to the copyright sign in the
symbol font? (i.e., is there a list of all possible characters)
