Andy -

You've probably gotten lots of responses by now, but in general, you
want to:

IDL> set_plot, 'ps
IDL> !p.font = 0
IDL> device, /<yourfavoritePostScriptFontName>, /isolatin

(where <yourfavoritePostScriptFontName> is something like Times, Palatino, &c.)

IDL> n_tilde = string(241b)
IDL> xyouts, x_coord, y_coord, 'El Ni' + n_tilde+ 'o', ....

Hope this helps,

Joe Gurman
