[moving to r-devel] This PDF looks fine in all of the viewers I have (xpdf 3.02, okular 0.8.2, acroread 8.1.3, evince/poppler 0.8.7) ... I don't really know enough about PDF/fonts/etc. to debug this ... if I were going to continue with this I would probably make some kind of minimal plot:
> pdf("test.pdf")
> plot(0:1,0:1,type="n",axes=FALSE,ann=FALSE)
> text(0.5,0.5,expression(alpha %prop% beta))
> dev.off()
(this comes out to only 1397 bytes on my system), make the equivalent
plot with LaTeX
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
$$
\alpha \propto \beta
$$
\end{document}
(7514 bytes)
and try to figure out how the fonts are being treated differently ...
