When I updated the coyote IDL library (don't know exactly when, but when it changed from ps_start/ps_end to cgps_open/cgps_close), I recognized some strange things happening (sometimes) with the postscript output.
I don't know if its me or a bug - here are some examples of what i do, using only the coyote IDL library:
y = randomn(seed,154)*5e-8
cgps_open,'plot_w_yrange.ps'
cgplot,y,xtitle='Flux bins [ph s$\up-1$ cm$\up-2$ keV$\up-1$]', $
ytitle='Number density',color='black',thick=2,yrange=[0,50]
cgps_close
cgps_open,'plot_wo_yrange.ps'
cgplot,y,xtitle='Flux bins [ph s$\up-1$ cm$\up-2$ keV$\up-1$]', $
ytitle='Number density',color='black',thick=2
cgps_close
cgps_open,'histoplot_w_yrange.ps'
cghistoplot,y,xtitle='Flux bins [ph s$\up-1$ cm$\up-2$ keV$\up-1$]', $
ytitle='Number density',color='black',thick=2,yrange=[0,50]
cgps_close
cgps_open,'histoplot_wo_yrange.ps'
cghistoplot,y,xtitle='Flux bins [ph s$\up-1$ cm$\up-2$ keV$\up-1$]', $
ytitle='Number density',color='black',thick=2
cgps_close
What happens (for me) is the following:
first plot: normal
second plot: the x- and y-titles are in greek letters
third plot: same as 2.
fourth plot: same as 2.
I want to stay with the default style provided in the coyote library when using the cgps_open/cgps_close procedures. Though, if I try setting font = 1 in the call to cgps_open, everything is returned "normal" but rather unasthetic.
Unfortunatelly, I can not attach something here, so please verify yourself or refute me.
I appreciate any help or comments.
Cheers,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
I can confirm that this code works fine on IDL 8.4 (8.3.1 is now 8.4), using 64-bit Windows.
In the meantime, if you are desperate, you could either set font=1 like you suggested, or you could sprinkle in some !3 commands in front of your x/ytitle text, to force the text back to normal.
Cheers,
Chris
