[INTERNAL] Special characters like Angstrom in IDL

How can you use superscripts and special characters (Angstrom sign) when one uses !p.font=0?

A lot of the special characters are in the ISOlatin1 character set. After you open your PS file do a DEVICE,/ISOlatin1

Character examples:

    angstrom=string(197B)
    plusminus=string(177B)

For vector drawn fonts (Simplex Roman, for example) use the following:

xyouts, .5, .5, /norm, '!3'+string("305B), charsi=3 ;angstrom

To see a font, use showfont:
 

SHOWFONT, 3, 'Simplex Roman'
