cgsymbols change when saving from cgwindow to pdf [message #91493]

Hello all,

When I open a plot using cgwindow and display text using cgsymbol on that plot, and then save to a pdf using the cgwindow drop down menu, some of the symbols change.

For example, cgsymbol('sigma') gives the correct sigma symbol on the pop-up cgwindow, but converts to an 'r' in the saved pdf. cgsymbol('sigma', /ps) gives the wrong symbol in the pop-up window, but the correct symbol in the pdf. I need the symbol to be correct on both as I am using both and cannot have a difference in readability.

Any solutions?(Using a mac, if it matters).

Small illustrative example:

cgwindow, 'cgplot', indgen(100), /xstyle
cgwindow, 'cgtext', 20, 70, cgSymbol('sigma'), /data, /addcmd

-->save to pdf, sigma becomes an 'r'.

cgwindow, 'cgplot', indgen(100), /xstyle
cgwindow, 'cgtext', 20, 70, cgSymbol('sigma', /ps), /data, /addcmd

--> displays a lower-case sigma in 'word-final position' instead of the standard lower-case sigma on the cgwindow, and in the pdf it is displayed as the intended sigma symbol.

Thanks,

AJ
