Re: [R] pdf greek letter typos
Please do read the help page (and state your platform). This is s known PDF viewer bug. E.g.: If you see problems with PDF output, do remember that the problem is much more likely to be in your viewer than in R. Try another viewer if possible. Symptoms for which the viewer has been at fault are apparent grids on image plots (turn off graphics anti-aliasing in your viewer if you) and missing or incorrect glyphs in text (viewers silently doing font substitution). See also the section on 'Cairo fonts' in ?X11, which has a diagnosis and workaround.

Try to view the file in acrobat reader and possibly other viewers. I'm running Ubuntu, and uninstalling package ttf-symbols-replacement did the trick for evionce Co. on my system (acrobat reader was never affected; but used to show pdfs with transparency quite ugly - there was a discussion with solutions to both problems on the ggplot2 list last fall).
