On page 9-7 of the IDL User's Guide (V 3.1) you see that the angstrom
sign is octal 305. So, for example:

xyouts, 100, 100, 'Wavelength = 1500'+string("305B)

This works with the Hershey fonts; I'm not sure about PostScript.
Many other letters with diacritical marks from non-English European
alphabets are also available in the same way.
