I am sorry, this don't work.

The "�" is missing in both.

IDL Help:

ISOLATIN1

(PS)

Set this keyword to use Adobe ISO Latin 1 font encoding with any font
that supports such coding. Use of this keyword allows access to many
commonly-used foreign characters.

pro test2
SET_PLOT, 'PS'

DEVICE, SET_FONT = "Times-Roman"

x=findgen(100)
y=sin(x)

DEVICE, FILE='test_out.eps' ,$
/ENCAPSUL, /color,/isolatin1
!P.FONT = 0
plot, x, y, xtitle = 'Funny >�< Character doesn''t work'
xyouts,0.5,0.5,'Hofbr�uhaus',/norm

It is even easier than that:

If you want to display an "�", "�", "�", or "�", which are German Umlaute, than you may just
enable the /ISOLATIN switch of your PS-device and you can print strings including them, like
"Hofbr�uhaus".

have fun !

well only an hour after posting i find it.
I had been trying things such as STRING("228B) which is the way with hershey fonts.

A_dd = STRING(228B) ; --> �

SET_PLOT, 'PS'
!P.FONT = 0
DEVICE, /BKMAN, /LIGHT

DEVICE, FILE='test_out.eps'
DEVICE, /ENCAPSUL, /color
LoadCT, 1
plot, DATA_x, DATA_y, xtitle = 'Depth (m)', ytitle = string('Brunt V'+A_dd+'s'+A_dd +
'l'+A_dd+' Frequency'), color = 0

oplot, DATA_x, DATA_z1, color = 50, psym = 5
oplot, DATA_x, DATA_z2, color = 100, psym = -4

DEVICE, /CLOSE
