Alright, gentlemen, this is a conundrum. Here is what I have:

; MODIFICATION HISTORY:
; $Id: textoidl.pro,v 1.7 2004/06/15 17:25:54 mcraig Exp $
; $Log: textoidl.pro,v $
; Revision 1.7 2004/06/15 17:25:54 mcraig
;
; RELEASE:
; $Name: Rel_2_1_2 $

Here is what I did. Enter a fresh IDL session. Type
this command:

IDL> plot, findgen(100), xtitle=textoidl('M_\odot')

And here is what I get, both on my display and in
my PostScript file.

What do you make of that!? I think that is what
all of us here are seeing. I did this on a Windows
machine. I'll have to wait for tomorrow to try it
on a Linux machine.

Yeah, not exactly what I hoped to hear, however. :-(

Cheers,

David
