Sorry....

This is occurring on the Mac OS version 1.3.1. Tried it in
R Windows version, it works.

I guess I can create it using postscript, and move it over.

Thanks to those that replied... Brian, Uwe, and Kjetil.

Cheers,

R-Users,

I trying to get greek symbols in the labels of a plot. This is
successful in the title and in the x-label. But, not successful
in the y-label. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

For example,
plot(0,0,
xlab=substitute(paste(phi,"=",true,sigma),list(true=5)),
ylab=substitute(paste(phi,"=",true,sigma),list(true=5)),
main=substitute(paste(phi,"-Coordinates-",true,sigma),list(true=5)))

does the x-label and title correctly, but not y-label.
Cheers,
