Well I wanted a 'x' type symbol and didn't realise that it was actually in
the Math and Special font, also I was curious to find out how to print other
symbols by their octal numbers for future reference as I have only just
started using IDL and couldn't find it in the manuals that we have got. Hope
this clears it up for you!!!

Cheers
