...y other applications, prefers the Wine symbol font to the standard Type 1 URW font, and seems to misinterpret its encoding. You may well have Wine installed without realizing it (as I did) -- it is increasingly common as a dependency of other software. The best test is to run % fc-match symbol s050000l.pfb: "Standard Symbols L" "Regular" This is the result on a system without Wine: if you see % fc-match symbol symbol.ttf: "Symbol" "Regular" you at least potentially have the problem. A good test is to look at ?points and run the function TestChars() def...

Paul, You solution worked out really well when I ran my code in R. However, when I try to turn the plot into a pdf, the unicode string no longer seems to function and instead of the sigma symbol there are just two periods (See example code below). The following is the code working in the R environment just like I want it to look: set.seed(1) Data=rnorm(100,sd=10000) plot(density(Data))
