That could just be your viewer not being able to find the font (which is
what happens to me on this example). Try using embedFonts(), like this ...
embedFonts("figure.pdf")
... which, if it succeeds, will place the fonts in the PDF and the
viewer should be happy.
If that does not work, a workaround is to specify a different symbol
font, like this ...
mypal <- Type1Font("URWPalladio",
c("p052003l.afm", "p052004l.afm",
"p052023l.afm", "p052024l.afm",
"Symbol.afm"))
pdfFonts(mypal=mypal)
pdf(file="figure.pdf",family="mypal")
plot(0,0,type="n")
text(0,0,expression(integral(f(x)*dx, a, b)))
dev.off()
