As far as I know, !P.FONT can have one of three values: -1, 0, and 1.
But, hey, whatever works, I say. :-)
Cheers,
David

Did you download all the files at
http://physweb.mnstate.edu/mcraig/textoidl/textoidl-2-1-2/fi lelist.htm
?
if so, you might want to restart your idl or .run strtrans and any
other file that is not found.
the first time you run textoidl on a new idl session you should get the
following messages, proving that all the supporting procedures are
found and usable.
% Compiled module: TEXTOIDL.
% Compiled module: TEXTABLE.
% Compiled module: STRTRANS.
% Compiled module: STRSPLIT.
% Compiled module: TRANSLATE_SUB_SUPER.
% Compiled module: NEXTTOK.
Give it a shot and let us know. Hope this helps,
Gianguido

Well, it's going to get worse. We haven't even
tried to write a program yet. :-(
Sounds to me like you either didn't get all the files
you need, or you didn't put the files that you did
get on the IDL PATH so they can be found when they
are needed. This is all pretty basic stuff. Anyone
around there know enough IDL to help?
Cheers,
David

Hi Dilkushi,
as a general rule, when asking for help it is good to give quite a few
more details (as many as are pertinent)! and avoid vague phrases such
as 'half way through' :-(
What version of IDL are you using, on what OS... a sample input and
sample error message are also useful.

http://physweb.mnstate.edu/mcraig/TeXtoIDL/
it's that easy :-)

Dilkushi reports that the !4 trick didn't work for him
at all, so I doubt that TexToIDL will help either, since
that is just an indirect way of doing exactly the same
thing. You can find it here:
http://physweb.mnstate.edu/mcraig/textoidl/
The real question is why isn't it working on your
machine and with your version of IDL. I don't have
many ideas about that! :-(
Cheers,
David

You can also search in the group or elsewhere for the fantastic
textoidl.pro. If you know a little tex you can do a lot quite easily
with it.
ytitle=textoidl('\delta')
or
ytitle=textoidl('\Delta')

Ten-four. Or, rather, !4:
IDL> text = 'This is a delta symbol (!4' + String("144B) + '!X)'
IDL> xyouts, 0.5, 0.5, /normal, size=2.0, align=0.5, text
