How to use customized Hershey fonts? [message #56728]

Hi all,

I'd like to draw a special symbol which is not available in IDL's font
set. After poking around for some time in the help assistant, I
learned that there's a routine called EFONT in which I can easily
create the character of my desire. Unfortunately, I cannot figure out
how to use it then. :-(

Since, being non-root, I don't have write access to IDL's main
directory, I cannot change the hersh1.chr file there. Saving the
character or a whole font set to my local directory works, but I don't
know how to make use of that e.g. with XYOUTS. I thought of making a
local copy of hersh1.chr but could not figure out a way to get IDL to
use that one.

So... is EFONT useless or am I missing something?

Thanks,
Rainer
