Is it possible to display multiple fonts in widgets like buttons, fields
etc?

I would like to be able to have strings like _delta_x where delta is the
greek character.

Thanks in advance,
Phil

You can do something like this:

!P.MULTI=[0,2,2]
PLOT, data1, TITLE='!6'
PLOT, data2
PLOT, data3
PLOT, data4

This won't affect the space of the plots at all and you won't have
any plot titles.

You will notice that *all* your plots will now be drawn with
font !6 (the duplex Roman font). This is because once a software
or vector font is selected, it stays the current font until it is
unselected.

For example, you might want to get back to the default simplex
Roman font (font !3) after these plots. You will have to use the
!3 font selector in a string in order to do so. If you didn't really
want to *write* a string on your display, you might just output
a blank character, like this:

XYOUTS, 0, 0, '!3 ', /Normal
