Angstrom symbol [message #1305]

I'm wondering if there's a way to print out an angstrom symbol in a
title of a plot with PostScript font. I know this is possible with
X-window fonts, because the symbol is encoded with an octal number,
which can be found by using "xfd". However, this symbol is not
explicitly encoded in PostScript, so I don't know how to access it
even though my printer has the font.

Currently, I'm using the following sequence of positioning commands
to construct the symbol with PostScript font:

"!SA!R !A!9\260!N"

However, this still looks awkward.

Is there a way to print out this symbol directly in PostScript?
Someone might have asked this question already, but I couldn't
find any answer in the FAQ. I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
