I don't have a Mac, but if someone wanted to help
me out, I've put a new version of my Greek program
here:

http://www.dfanning.com/misc/greek.pro

If you set the UNICODE keyword, the program will now
return the unicode value for the Greek letter used in
the Apple Symbol font distributed with MacOSX 10.1
and higher. This *should* allow Macs to produce
PostScript output with Greek symbols correctly.

IDL> XYOuts, 0.5, 0.5, /Normal, Align=0.5, $
'Greek Letter Zeta ' + Greek('Zeta', /UNICODE), Font=1

Thanks,

David
