Problem in creating Postscript of textoidl command [message #77111]

Hi I am using "textoidl" for creating symbols in my plot axes. They
look fine in the display when I see it on
Coyote's window. But when I save it as a postscript file, the symbols
totally goofs up. For example
textoidl('\theta') will look okay in the Coyote's resizeable Graphics
Window but will show it as a "t" in the postscript output. Any help is
appreciated.

Thanks
Poonam

You need to read this article:

And get a updated copy of the Coyote Library:

Cheers,
