Hi,
how do I get special characters for titles for example
which would look in LaTeX like this
q_x [\AA^{-1}]
Thanks
M.L.

In the string put '!7x' this will give you a lower case omega. Upper case is
capital x. this is explained in the refference guide volume 1 under the chapter
on fonts. There are also a bunch of font tables also. Remember to reset the
font by using !3 at the end of the string or in the next string. If you do not
then all of your fonts will remain in Greek font 7.

If it won't work with the symbolic font the onlly way is to use a bitmap
button I believe.

This just prints out !7X on the button. Reading the chapter in the
reference guide leads me to believe that this method only works with direct
graphics commands like xyouts.

This would work if the symbol was the only thing I wanted to put on the
button. I neglected to mention in the original post that there was to be
regular characters there as well.
What I am trying for is 'Conductivity 1/(ohms*m)' with the symbol for ohms
in place of ohms.

I am not sure about how to do this in general, but this
works on my Windows NT machine with IDL 5.2:
button = Widget_Button(tlb, Value='W', Font='Symbol')
Cheers,
David
