unwanted totally greek postscript output with coyote IDL [message #89273]

When I updated the coyote IDL library (don't know exactly when, but when it changed from ps_start/ps_end to cgps_open/cgps_close), I recognized some strange things happening (sometimes) with the postscript output.
I don't know if its me or a bug - here are some examples of what i do, using only the coyote IDL library:

y = randomn(seed,154)*5e-8

cgps_open,'plot_w_yrange.ps'
cgplot,y,xtitle='Flux bins [ph s$\up-1$ cm$\up-2$ keV$\up-1$]', $
ytitle='Number density',color='black',thick=2,yrange=[0,50]
cgps_close

cgps_open,'plot_wo_yrange.ps'
cgplot,y,xtitle='Flux bins [ph s$\up-1$ cm$\up-2$ keV$\up-1$]', $
ytitle='Number density',color='black',thick=2
cgps_close

cgps_open,'histoplot_w_yrange.ps'
cghistoplot,y,xtitle='Flux bins [ph s$\up-1$ cm$\up-2$ keV$\up-1$]', $
ytitle='Number density',color='black',thick=2,yrange=[0,50]
cgps_close

cgps_open,'histoplot_wo_yrange.ps'
cghistoplot,y,xtitle='Flux bins [ph s$\up-1$ cm$\up-2$ keV$\up-1$]', $
ytitle='Number density',color='black',thick=2
cgps_close

What happens (for me) is the following:
first plot: normal
second plot: the x- and y-titles are in greek letters
third plot: same as 2.
fourth plot: same as 2.

I want to stay with the default style provided in the coyote library when using the cgps_open/cgps_close procedures. Though, if I try setting font = 1 in the call to cgps_open, everything is returned "normal" but rather unasthetic.

Unfortunatelly, I can not attach something here, so please verify yourself or refute me.

I appreciate any help or comments.
Cheers,
Thomas
