The 'dejavusans' font, introduced in IDL 8.2, includes the star symbol (unicode '22C6'x).
For instance:
pl=plot(/TEST) & !null=text(0.5,0.5,'$\U(22C6)$',FONT_SIZE=30)
alx.

Hello, has there been any advancement on this issue?
I would really like to have a subscript star on my labels (i.e M_{\star}) however I can't find a routine for the job.
Any ideas?
Toby

It's easy to do with new graphics:
x = findgen(100)
y = randomu(seed,100)
p = plot(x,y,TITLE='$M_{\U(22C6)}$', FONT_SIZE=30)
Cheers,
Chris

It's pretty easy with Coyote Graphics, too, if you are using IDL 8.2 or
higher. First, make sure DejaVuSans is your true-type font. I usually do
this in my IDL start-up file.
cgSet_TTFont, 'Dejavusans'
Then, to make the plot:
cgPlot, x,y,TITLE='M!D!Z(22C6)!N', Font=1, Output='test.png'
Cheers,
David
