Both methods work - Incidently it also worked using
void = oTool->DoSetProperty(ids[i], 'FONT_NAME', 'Symbol')
so that I didn't have to get the object itself.
Thank you very much.

It works for me, but I noticed that capitalization matters: The font
name must have only the first letter capitalized. Otherwise, it seems
that the name is not recognized, and it is reverted to the default
Helvetica:
IDL> o->setproperty,font_name='SYMBOL'
IDL> o->getproperty,font_name=fn & print,fn
Helvetica
IDL> o->setproperty,font_name='Symbol'
IDL> o->getproperty,font_name=fn & print,fn
Symbol
IDL> o->setproperty,font_name='symbol'
IDL> o->getproperty,font_name=fn & print,fn
Helvetica
You can also try putting a !9 inside your string, to change the font
to Symbol. It also works for me.
