Ok I see....
Finally I found the table Embedded Font Selection Commands for Hershey
Vector Fonts and TrueType Fonts in the IDL manual.
Now I can continue with my amazing job :)
Thanks David,

Well, completely different graphics system, including different
fonts. :-(
You will have to use the Symbol font here, since object
graphics uses true-type fonts:
aux=OBJ_NEW('IDLgrText', STRINGS='Symbol: !9' + $
STRING("170B) + '!x', /ENABLE_FORMATTING)
XOBJVIEW, aux
Cheers,
David
