That would not be a good idea.  The resolution of a typical X11 display
is not good enough to distinguish a pentagon (which is what the 
postscript 14 and 15 are) from a circle.  Better to have fewer symbols
that are mutually distinguishable than to cycle through symbols that
are confusingly similar.
