IDL is writing code \341 there, which from before is the correct octal value for á. So that bit was right. I also found this page which shows that \341 is Æ in text encoding, but á in ISO Latin-1 encoding: http://www.math.u-bordeaux1.fr/~mleguebe/docs/gnuplot_liite3 4.pdf

There you go, mystery solved.
Now you see why every time someone so much as touches a Coyote Graphics
command the PostScript device gets configured with COLOR=1,
BITS_PER_PIXEL=8, and /ISOLATIN1. Saves a LOT of problems later on. :-)
Cheers,
