I generated a pdf file of the plot using j807 in Ubuntu and find it also
produces a plot with the 1/4 character -- and again pd 'show' displays the
figure with μ correctly. At this point, I haven't a clue ...

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.
