What happened is that I forgot to remove the ~/.fonts.conf when I was doing the first tests and instead rendering Symbol it was being replaced with a different font, that's why I thought in Wheezy was working fine. After removing ~/.fonts.conf and having the MS (or URW) symbol.ttf under /usr/local/share/fonts the sample PDF is still showing the wrong characters. Where can we download this file to test? I'm using the Symbol TrueType font that came by default along with Windows XP¹, I can send you the file if you want to play with it. And here it comes another recent discovery I've made that points to a glyphs problem... if I open the sample PDF file (Fig5.pdf) with a text editor (mcedit Fig5.pdf), scroll down to line #134 and add the following (#135): #134 /BaseFont /Symbol #135 /Encoding /MacRomanEncoding this line Save the document and open again with a PDF reader, et voilà, the characters are properly displayed. So what can be happening after all is that the symbol.ttf fonts we are using lack for the required glyphs to render a specific set of the encoded characters but not all.

Re: fonts used by evince
Okay, I don't precisely know what fixed it but now the font is correctly displayed for me. deleting files from /usr/share/fonts/ somewhat brought unreproducible results. I started font-manager (which I believed to be inactive since I commented out the corresponding entries in ~/.fonts.conf). In debuging earlier I added the symbol.ttf which comes with cernroot to the user fonts of the font-manager (didn't help back then). Now I removed symbol.ttf from the font manager and restored /usr/share/fonts to how my standard package installation prepared it. Now the plot gets displayed correctly. my conclusion: - no idea what went wrong before I installed font-manager - symbol.ttf which comes with cernroot is behaving strangely using it for displaying causes wrong displaying of non embedded greek letters. - if you create pdfs always embed fonts - I learned the gs command to repair pdfs. - ttf files not only help displaying fonts, they can also break it.

The only symbol.ttf I can find in Wheezy at http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages is in the libwine package. Is that the correct file? I hope so, because I went to a lot of trouble to download and install it. :) I hope you did not install libwine just to test this (you can download the .deb file and grabb only the required file). I'm using the original Windows TrueType fonts (what I always do is copy/ paste the fonts from my Windows machine to my Linux systems) but well, for our purpose we can expect that both symbol.ttf files (libwine and windows) are the same :-) Bad news: libwine has symbol.ttf in /usr/share/wine/fonts and the OP's pdf displays mu, as it should. Good news (maybe): moving symbol.ttf to /usr/share/fonts reproduces the OP's problem - mu is displayed as a proportionality symbol. For this I can't tell, the OP will have to confirm. I may as well throw in something I came across earlier today: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=700729 I experience the same problem with the mentioned PDF in the above bug (using lenny and the windows symbol.ttf font by default). But this is a different distribution and, in any case, the location of the Debian wine fonts doesn't affect the pdf. The OP needs to move files out of the fonts directory to isolate the cause. Yes, I would start from there: moving symbol.ttf (if present) or listing all the symbol fonts he has in the system and placing them in a different place other than the usual, one by one and testing each time. Either that or, as a way of working round it, use mupdf, which has the fonts compliled into the binary. Then mu does the same as Acrobat Raeder: it uses its own fonts.

Apparently root does not embed the fonts it uses into the eps file - which is a problem on its own which I don't want to address here. I'm using debian testing and have already quite some font packages installed. Moreover on a colleague's computer running ubuntu the file is displayed by evince correctly and we compared the packages listed in synaptic under fonts and we have the same (except for a package called ubuntu-fonts or similar) packages installed (certainly not the same versions but the same package names). As a brute force test I backuped my /usr/share/fonts directory and replaced it by the ubuntu /usr/share/fonts. After a reboot my evince still didn't display the mu correctly. I then removed the ubuntu /usr/share/fonts again and restored my backup. Is evince at all using fonts from /usr/share/fonts? (if not, where should I start searching for the missing font) Do you have recommendations what to do to get the plot correctly displayed in evince?
