PS Sun Symbol [message #34907]

I'm trying to make a sun symbol (circle with a dot in the middle) under
PS hardware fonts. There is a command (sunsymbol) in the astronomy users
library that does this, however the dot is noticeably off center. Has
anyone come up with a better way of generating the symbol?

For reference, the command used in the 'sunsymbol' function is:

device,/AVANTGARDE,/BOOK,ISOLATIN=0,FONT_INDEX = 20
return, '!20!S!DO!R!I ' + string(183b) + '!X!N'

I checked the archives, but the last post referencing this topic was way
back in 97.

Also:
IDL> print, !version
{ x86 linux unix 5.4 Sep 25 2000 32 32}

Thanks
Chad Bender
