The string I am printing is really a string, I made sure of that through a call to the size founction. Anyhow, when I run the whole program through the whole bunch of satellite images I have, this problem does not always appear with the same image. Moreover, all images time stamps are created the same way, so it makes no sense that some of them work fine and some don't.

As for the true-type font, my settings are the following: !p.font=-1, I was using the default font (Helvetica I think), which now I specify (see message below) before the call to xyouts and this seems to work well (8 different time stamps up to now, no problem, while I had one bad time stamp out of 2 or 3 before)

Cheers,
Yves
