Re: questions about superscripts and Greek characters

Hi Yi,
You are getting µµ instead of µm because you need to change your font
back to helvetica before you create the last m. Try this:
  res@gsnRightString = "units: " + "Wm~S~-2~N~sr~S~-1~N~" + "~F8~m~N~" +
"~F21~m~S~-1~N~"

And let us know if it doesn't work... Adam
