For the R & N symbols the easiest solution is to notice that
there is a font that contains these symbols.  I will have to
look through my showfont pages to find it though, but it's there.
Some people prefer to kern them together.

For an xy plotter for TeX the gnuplot program combined with the
epsf macros work well for me.  gnuplot automatically configures
to most standard terminal types.  Once you are done tweeking the
plot you use 'set output' to choose a filename.eps and use the
'set term' command to select encapsulated postscript.  Then 'replot'
to create an encapsulated postscript file.  The epsf macro can
scale the size of the plot and include it easily into your document.
gnuplot is freely available for most standard machines and c source
is also provided.  Furthermore excellent documentation comes with the
package.  I usually use epsf.sty with LaTeX but I think I remember seeing
a separate macro for use with TeX.  The epsf macro is also freely
available (My thanks to the gnuplot and epsf authors).  I think
the epsf macros were part of the dvips package.  The MSDOS version
of gnuplot can be obtained from sites that mirror simtel.  I'm sure
someone will correct me if I have given any incorrect information.
