Dear all, I appreciate suggestions for following problem. I wrote to RStudio: plot(c(1,20),c(1,20), xlab = expression(paste(alfa))) or the same happen when I wrote: plot(c(1,20),c(1,20), xlab = expression(alfa)) what happen is, that description under x label is exactly "alpha", not greek letter alfa (?). Please where should I search problem, or what information to sent to list for identification of this problem? Thanks, Milan
