I had to do this recently, and I finally gave up trying to do it with R alone. Instead, I used the LaTeX overpic package. For the result, see Figure 1 in http://journal.sjdm.org/9417/jdm9417.pdf or (screenshot of it) in http://journal.sjdm.org/9417/jdm9417.html and the .tex file http://journal.sjdm.org/9417/jdm9417.tex and the R file that drew the plots http://journal.sjdm.org/9417/figs.R
The pictures are tiny in this case. I do think it is possible to define your own symbols. Maybe someone else can say how.
