The formatting commands are listed in the IDL Reference Guide, in the
section called 'Embedded Formatting Commands' in the section called
'Fonts'. Notice how the font selection commands do different things
depending on whether you're using Hershey, True Type, or Postscript
fonts. In iTools, the default font is a True Type font.

The !9 will use the Symbol font, which is standard on most machines.

Now that I look at the chart more closely, I see that you can also get
mu with just:

!Mm

Thanks a lot Dave. Where could I find the list of codes like the one
you gave (!9m!X)?

Looks like the string textoidl creates only works with the IDL Hershey
font. If you change the font of the string for your text in iplot to
Hershey, you'll see the right thing.

If you don't want to use Hershey fonts in iplot, to get the mu
character, use the following sequence:

!9m!X
