Sorry, I went too fast. Here is the correct URL.

As David suggests, you can give embedded commands a try. However, you
are probably looking for a TeX-like interface for graphics symbols and
formatting. If that's true they you are probably looking for
TeXtoIDL, found at the following URL:
http://astron.berkeley.edu/davis/idlshare/general/
Your plot command the becomes:
plot, y, xtitle=textoidl('\omega_t'),ytitle=textoidl('r^2/\alpha')

Yes. Have a look at the on-line help under Vector-Drawn Fonts.
Follow the links to the Embedded Formatting Commands page.
Should be self-explanatory if you cross your eyes and stick
out your tongue the right way. :-)
Cheers,
David
