Let us see how this works by considering the problem of inserting
awkward characters in your Stata graphs, say as part of some plot or
axis title. Some examples of possibly useful characters are
char(133) ellipsis
char(134) dagger
char(135) double dagger
char(169) copyright
char(176) degree symbol
char(177) plus or minus
char(178) superscript 2
char(179) superscript 3
char(181) micro symbol
char(188) one-fourth
char(189) one-half
char(190) three-fourths
char(215) multiply
...
is Windows-specific. These are not the correct mappings for Mac OS X.
Furthermore one cannot change the default font used for a given Stata
window type in Mac OS X. Stata Tip 6 failed to mention that the
proposed approach is platform-specific.
