dear R wizards:

is it possible to use a postscript font symbol as a plot symbol?    in 
particular, I want to use the four postscript symbols for playing cards 
(club, heart, spade, diamond) as points.  In LaTeX, these four are

\Pisymbol{psy}{"A7} \Pisymbol{psy}{"A8}
\Pisymbol{psy}{"A9} \Pisymbol{psy}{"A10}

and what I would love to do is place them, at say, (x=1,y=1), 
(x=2,y=2), (x=3,y=3) and (x=4,y=4).  Help appreciated---or merely a 
note that this is impossible.

regards,

/iaw
