The o is a bit higher as normal in this example but it seems only !A does a
centric move up.
erase & XYOUTS, 0.1, 0.5, /Normal, $
CharSize=6.0,'!sA!r!A'+string(BYTE(176))+'!N'

Wow. Sure enough. This sure looks like a bug to me.

Yes, well, this works (with the default font):
window & XYOUTS, 0.1, 0.5, /Normal, CharSize=6.0,'!3'+STRING(197B)+'!x'
But with a fancy font it does not work:
window & XYOUTS, 0.1, 0.5, /Normal, CharSize=6.0,'!6'+STRING(197B)+'!x'
