I usually don't like the built-in "vectorized" text in IDL, so when
I make plots in postscript, I use the command !p.font=0 to use intrinsic
Postscript fonts. However, when it writes the numbers on the axes, it
uses 2 * 10^8 instead of 2 x 10^8 (i.e., I'd prefer x as the multiplication
symbol.) Also, how does one use superscripts and special characters
(Angstrom sign) when one uses !p.font=0?
Thanks for your help!

You must be living well and paying your respects
to the programming gods, Reimer. :-)
