Re: characters font and symbols font

[kessler@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I think Jaison is right. Once @as is used in a label statement, 
there is no way to cancel it. The only option is to use 2 labels, 
carefully placed. Or rework your label to give the text with the 
degree mark first, then the @as text.

And note that the degree mark is more easily obtained by the
"#" character: 140#W

label/nou 3 2 0 0 .15 Salinity at 140#W @asblah_blah
