Bill, now it works perfectly, and moreover thanks a lot to Arne Henden and
Brian Skiff, and obviously to you, for the additions and improvement on the
data.
I have made a little change to the Landolt.tdf file:
the third line from the end is:

type sc11fc;f8;-24,0;-8,8;0,24;8,8;24,0;8,-8;0,-24;-8,-8;e0,0,10;

The symbol has the same shape of the original, but middle green color, so
less "violent" in color and smaller than the original one.
If you like use it, or change as explained in the page

http://www.projectpluto.com/manual/page66.htm

Regarding their color, the codes are:

0 Black
1 Bright Green
2 Orange
3 Cyan
4 Yellow
5 Red
6 Brown
7 Purple
8 Blue
9 Magenta
10 Dark Green
11 Middle Green
12 Bright Green
13 Dark Gray
14 Light Gray
15 White

The corresponding number substitutes the "11" after "type sc

Enjoy
