Thanks again Jan.  That is lovely and clean and I probably should have seen that option.

I had anxieties about the portability of using text.  (The function will end up in my https://github.com/cpsyctc/CECPfuns package so I'd like it to be fairly immune to character
sets and different platforms in different countries.

I'm morphing this question a lot now but I guess it's still on topic really.  I know I need to put in some time to understand the complexities of R and platforms (I'm pretty exclusively on Linux, Ubuntu or Debian now so have mostly done the ostrich thing about these issues though I do hit problems exchanging things with my Spanish speaking colleagues).  Jan or anyone: any simple reassurance or pointers to resources I should
best use for homework about these issues?

TIA (again!)

Chris

You are right, sorry.

Another possible solution then: use geom_text instead of geom_point and use a triangle shape as text:

ggplot(data = tmpTibPoints,
       aes(x = x, y = y)) +
  geom_polygon(data = tmpTibAreas,
               aes(x = x, y = y, fill = a)) +
  geom_text(data = tmpTibPoints,
             aes(x = x, y = y, label = "▼", color = c),
             size = 6) + guides(color = FALSE)

[much snipped]
