I think this is a bug (which I'll log). It's worse on Windows, where even the !X isn't honored. This:
IDL> plot, findgen(2), title='!7T!X foo !Mb bar'
behaves correctly in 7.1, but not in 8.X with the Hershey fonts.

Trying to recreate it, I've discovered that it only occurs if there is a
font change earlier in the string.
IDL> plot, findgen(2), title='!7T!X [M!D!Mn!N/yr]'

Hi Jeremy,
I can't find any recent changes to !M. Can you give me more info? This:
IDL> plot, findgen(2), title='foo !Mb bar'
gives me the "greater than or equal to" sign (Windows and Linux) between the foo and the bar.

Okay, good to know I'm not crazy! The !X might not literally be a bug
but look like one because of your testing - since !M seems to not
release, it becomes the old font so the !X effectively switches to math
mode. For example, if I run your code in a fresh IDL8 session, "foo" is
correct, but if I run it again then it's wrong.
