Those of us who know LateX have probably been using the TeXtoIDL
package for this task. (The original version is at
http://physweb.mnstate.edu/mcraig/textoidl/ ; a slightly improved
package is available in the excellent Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)
library http://code.google.com/p/sdssidl/ ). One finds the string
for the Greek alpha symbol as string = textoidl('\alpha'). But I
don't believe that TeXtoIDL handles true-type fonts, so greek.pro
should still be useful even for TeXtoIDL users -- thanks.
