Thanks David.

How to use other type of TTF? I have many TTF on my computer which can be
used in MS WORD. Would you please insert code in the following if I want to
use TTF named ABC.ttf?

Pro test
set_plot,'ps'
set_plot,'win'
!p.font=1
plot,x,y,xtitle='TEST TTF'
end

When I set font=0 the two figure looks quit different. For example,
!p.font=0
plot,x,y,title='dfdjhfdjhfjghfjghfjghfgfjghfjgfghfjgfgfhfguf gju'
end
In win figure, the title is much shorter than that in PS. How to change it?
Sometimes there are many text in the figure, when I use xyouts to put them
in the correct position in WIN, they are not on the correct position in PS.

Best
TOM
