Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the lowercase Greek letters all "italic" in both the Hershey and Truetype fonts that ship with IDL?

So couldn't you just use the !M to switch to the symbol font, then use "q" to insert the theta?

In new graphics, this would look like either one of the following:
p = plot(/test, title='Abc $\theta$ def')
p = plot(/test, title='Abc !Mq def')

The syntax in either DG or CG would be similar.

Cheers,
Chris
