You also have to set the ISOLATIN1 keyword. This works in both
vector and true-type fonts:

thisDevice = !D.Name
set_plot, 'PS'
DEVICE, FILE='w.ps', SET_FONT='Helvetica', /TT_FONT, /isolatin1
plot, [0], /nodata, xrange = [-50,50], yrange = [-50,50]
xyouts, 0,0, 'This is some nice test ' + string(197B), Font=0
device, /close
set_plot, thisDevice

Cheers,

David
