Hello,
I am currently using IDL 8.3 for a summer research project at my university. I am trying to use the "contour" plotting function, which has worked before in the past perfectly. Recently, however, whenever I attempt to create a contour plot using the correct syntax that has worked before, IDL gives me the following error:
% CONTOUR: Error opening file. File: C:\Program Files\IDL\IDL82\resource\fonts\hersh1.chr
The system cannot find the path specified.
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$
I am not quite sure what to make of this, as I do not even have an IDL82 folder in my computer and opening a file has nothing to do with the contour plot I am trying to create. Any suggestions or advice you can offer?
Thanks a lot!

Check your environment variables to see if you have a rogue IDL_DIR or IDL_PATH set somewhere.

Thanks Chris, that was it! For some reason, the !DIR is set to an IDL82 path every time I open the software up despite me having version 8.3. I suppose I will have to manually specify !DIR every time I go in.

No way around it. Your software is totally bonkers. :-)
Cheers,
