Well, yes, I have the character in my iTool now. But I also have a
"micro" symbol in there (using "!mm" in the annotation). Now if I export
the plot to EPS, I have either the "times" but not the micro in there
(when setting isolatin1 = true), or vice versa (isolatin1 = false).
I guess I'm giving up and fixing my labels in Illustrator. That always
works (while blowing up the file size by a factor of 50).
Cheers,
Benjamin
