Bingo!
I don't think this can be done, reliably at least, for hardware fonts.
What does that mean? With hardware fonts it may work in X, but never in
PS.
Give it a try, I mean BOTH methods suggested by David Fanning. Here is
a
procedure for you...

pro test_fonts, setx=setx, setps=setps, hard=hard, soft=soft

!p.font = -1
set_plot, 'X'
if (keyword_set(setx)) then set_plot, 'X'
if (keyword_set(setps)) then set_plot, 'PS'
if (keyword_set(hard)) then !p.font = 0 ; Hardware fonts
if (keyword_set(soft)) then !p.font = -1 ; Vector-drawn fonts
!p.color = 0
!p.background = 1

ang1 = '1) ' + string("305B)
ang2 = '2) !6!sA!r!u!9%!6!n'

el_nino1 = '3) El Ni' + string(241B) + 'o'
el_nino2 = '4) El Ni' + string("241B) + 'o'
el_nino3 = '5) El Ni!sn!r!u!9A!6!no'

plot, indgen(1)

xyouts, .4, .8, ang1, /norm, chars=3
xyouts, .4, .7, ang2, /norm, chars=3
xyouts, .4, .6, el_nino1, /norm, chars=3
xyouts, .4, .5, el_nino2, /norm, chars=3
xyouts, .4, .4, el_nino3, /norm, chars=3

if (!d.name eq 'PS') then device, /close

end
