Bill,
Ubuntu does use evince as the .pdf reader.
I moved the file at ~/j901-user/temp/plot.pdf over to my mac mini which
uses acroread, but the character still displays as 1/4. Further, if I generate a test plot with j807 on the mini, it displays μ correctly in the pdf file, *and* it also displays correctly using evince when I transfer it back to my Ubuntu laptop. Does this mean the problem is with how plot in j901 generates the pdf file?

I will try an earlier version of j under Ubuntu.

IIRC pdf output in jplot assumed acrobat built in unicode support. On
Ubuntu it may use evince as pdf reader, you can try another pdf reader to
open the ~/temp/plot.pdf to see if it works.

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?

Thanks, Patrick
