As I recall, the original question was, "How do I get an Angstrom symbol in
PostScript output." Version 3.1 of IDL incorporated Adobe ISO-LATIN 1 font
encoding. With that Version or later one can use

SET_PLOT,'PS'
DEVICE,/HELVETICA,/ISOLATIN1

and insert the Angstrom symbol in character strings with STRING(197B) .

Reference: IDL News, Spring, 1993.
