Ok, I fiddled around some more this morning but still can't get it working.
I also tried using string("341B) which should be the octal representation for á in that font according to IDL documentation, but again get Æ. I have experimented but can't find any simple map between the symbol that ASCII tables tell me I should get for a given value, and the symbol I actually get when writing to postscript.
Any thoughts?

But, I am having odd behaviour when I try to write to eps output. Specifically, rather than á, 225B gives me Æ (which should be 198B). 198B gives a breve accent. So it doesn't appear to be a swapping of just those two characters, but a different mapping.
