Interesting... I don't have my vi book handy, so I've not been able to
try that. I do get the same result on an old mac-mini running j807, but
my original problem occured under Ubuntu 18.04 with JVERSION
Engine: j901/j64/linux
Beta-f: commercial/2019-05-07T10:04:27
Library: 9.01.07
Qt IDE: 1.8.1/5.5.1
Platform: Linux 64
Installer: J901 install
On the mac-mini opt-m produces a μ, but with Ubuntu I have to use the
"Character Map" application to display it. This must have something to do
with the way the pdf reader treats these special characters, but this is
beyond my ken & I'd rather not have to learn about such things. I'd just
thought maybe someone had encountered (and solved!) this before.
Thanks,
Patrick

This may not be any help, but if I copy
pd 'ycaption Polarization (-Q/I) for μ = 0.1'
into my vim and issue a :hardcopy to print it, the result shows an upside
down ? in the pdf preview where the µ was. But if I copy that line in
vim and use vim's r for replace and enter µ, the copied line prints
correctly while the original has inverted ?.

I would like to put a Greek \mu (μ) in the y-axis label of a plot. If I
just cut & paste the symbol it looks OK in the pd command
pd 'ycaption Polarization (-Q/I) for μ = 0.1'
and when I do pd'show' or pd'jpg' the result is fine, but pd'pdf' gives
a 1/4 character instead of μ. Any suggestions on how to proceed?
