Huh. This is what I get:

IDL> print, textoidl('M_\odot')
M!D\!Nodot

Same whether !p.font = -1 or 1. If it's 0, then I get

IDL> !p.font=0
IDL> print, textoidl('M_\odot')
Warning: No translation for device: X
M_\odot

Doesn't matter if it's onscreen or to PS output either.

IDL> doclibrary, 'textoidl'

gives me:

MODIFICATION HISTORY:
$Id: textoidl.pro,v 1.7 2004/06/15 17:25:54 mcraig Exp $
$Log: textoidl.pro,v $
Revision 1.7 2004/06/15 17:25:54 mcraig
Fixed bug in regular expression, changed array notation to square brackets

and

RELEASE:
$Name: Rel_2_1_2 $

Do you have a later (or earlier) release?

I resorted to using !DSolar!N long ago since I could never get the Sun Symbol to work
right across different IDL installations and platforms.
