Displaying degree symbol with Postscript fonts [message #61498]

This is one of those things that everyone but me probably already
knows.

To display the degree symbol in most Postscript fonts
(glyph B0 in hex), you have to set the /ISOLATIN1 keyword via the
DEVICE command. This is not the most obscure feature that I
have ever seen in IDL (perhaps we should start a top 10 list),
but it is right up there.
