I think it is time to retire again. I'm not having ANY luck today.

It finally dawned on me this might be a problem with how PS_Start works.
Sure enough, I can get the calligraphy font if I read my own
documentation and set the PostScript file up like this:

ps_start, tt_font='Brush Script MT Italic', font=1, 'tester.ps'
cgplot, cgdemodata(1), title='This is a Callegraphy Font'
ps_end, /png

So, I guess it works OK. Just more work needed in PS_Start, I guess.

I suppose the real problem is that there is no way I know of to obtain
the current true-type font programmatically, and I want to use true-type
fonts in PS_Start, so I define a default one. Humm. :-(

Cheers,

David
