Chris,
Just noticed this behavior in my plots when using the hardware fonts, and will look forward to the 8.3.1 fix. In the mean time, is there code analogous to "!3" that I can use to fix my tick labels? My axis labels are fine, but the tick labels are in scientific notation and the "x" gets converted to an upper case Greek sigma (Linux IDL 8.2.2).
Thanks,
Derek
