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.
