Mac OS x IDL font handling [message #55274]

HI,

I am still pretty new with running IDL within the Mac operating system
and am having some problems with understanding the way in which fonts
work. I only have a basic understanding on UNIX, so i think that this
is my problem. So my question would be how do i plot a graph using for
example a Times new roman font. In windows idl i set font =0 and then
device,set_font="times new roman*bold*20" for example and it is easy
to adjust the font size or whether or not its bold, italic or normal.
Now on the Mac i am completely confused. the device fonts available to
idl all have long seemingly complicated names eg ...-adobe-helvetica-
bold-o-normal--18-180-75-80-p-103-iso8859-1

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

many thanks

Clive
