description: Is it possible to display multiple fonts in widgets like buttons, fields etc? I would like to be able to have strings like _delta_x where delta is the greek character.

You can do something like this: !P.MULTI=[0,2,2] PLOT, data1, TITLE='!6' PLOT, data2 PLOT, data3 PLOT, data4 This won't affect the space of the plots at all and you won't have any plot titles. You will notice that *all* your plots will now be drawn with font !6 (the duplex Roman font). This is because once a software or vector font is selected, it stays the current font until it is unselected. For example, you might want to get back to the default simplex Roman font (font !3) after these plots. You will have to use the !3 font selector in a string in order to do so. If you didn't really want to *write* a string on your display, you might just output a blank character, like this: XYOUTS, 0, 0, '!3 ', /Normal David ----------------------------------------------------------- David Fanning, Ph.D. Fanning Software Consulting 2642 Bradbury Court, Fort Collins, CO 80521 Phone: 970-221-0438 Fax: 970-221-4762 E-Mail: davidf@dfanning.com Coyote's Guide to IDL Programming: http://www.dfanning.com -----------------------------------------------------------
