xyouts,0.5,0.5,'!Z(2030)',/NORM

Good news is: I found it easily in the online help (although not
with any keyword that seems related to the question): Go for
Hershey, then click through "About Vector Fonts", "Embedded
Formatting Commands" and scroll down. There's a table giving you
what you ask for. Maybe RSI should offer a new product: the docu
