Plot, Findgen(11), XTitle='cm!U-3!N Units'

If I were doing this and wanting to use PostScript fonts,
I would type:

Plot, Findgen(11), XTitle='cm!U-3!N Units', Font=0

If I wanted to use True-Type fonts (which work both on
the display and in PostScript output) I would type:

Plot, Findgen(11), XTitle='cm!U-3!N Units', Font=1

Cheers,

David
