Yes, I did get something like this working. What I couldn't
figure out how to do (and I think this is what the original
poster wanted) was how to get Greek symbols into his code.
For example, I tried this:

text = Obj_New('IDLgrText', ENABLE_FORMATTING=1, $
"(!4!z(88)!X) Greek Symbol Omega", color=[0,0,128])
XObjView, text

Maybe I don't know how to read the octal table. But I see
Font 4, the omega sign is 12x plus 10 octal is:

IDL> Print, "120
88

Why doesn't this work?

Cheers,

David
