Typically, you access these character glyphs via their Unicode
value. For example, you are talking about tomorrow:

XYOUTS, 0.5, 0,5, Align=0.5, "I will do it ma!Z('F1'x)ana", $
Charsize=3, Normal=1

I don't know if this is possible. All of my experiments
have turned out negatively. :-(

Surely, there must be *some* way to do this! Karl!?
