You could consider R which has a lot of plotting functionality, including
almost arbitrary math symbol and various alphabets -- after 'apt-get install
r-base-core' try
$ R

Moreover, R can be driven quite well from Python using the python-rpy
package(s), so try 'apt-get install python-rpy'.
(Note that unstable already has the last beta of R 2.2.0 which is to be
released on Thursday, and unstable's rpy has not yet been rebuilt for
it. Testing should work just fine.)
