If you add a dummy example of the layout you're trying to achieve, you might get a better strategy pointed out too. It's my experience on Tex.SX that there's usually a better general way of doing things that we normally miss.

comment Adobe Garamond and LaTeX (Linux)
This isn't an answer to your question but... I also love Garamond but after using "Charter", I've fallen in love with it. Do try out including \usepackage[charter]{mathdesign} to see if you like the output.

comment Drawing a node surrounding arbitrarily places nodes
Thanks. That kind of works if I nudge things around but I can't get it just right. I can probably get this to work but I can't believe that there isn't a simpler "tikzy" solution to this.

comment Drawing a node surrounding arbitrarily places nodes
@ClaudioFiandrino Apologies if I sounded ungrateful. Your solution is definitely good but I want something that more closely resembles the output I've put in the question. The path I need should be as "organic" as the hobbyconvexpath you've described. The convexpath is much better but it has that diagonal line in the bottom left that I don't want.

Thanks. That looks good although not exactly what I need. The issue I have with this is that it looks too complicated. I'll see if someone else can suggest a better approach.
