I had no problem withe your example. The PDF came out just like
the graphic plot, with DELTA follow by D, whether I view it
using acroread or gv. My sessionInfo:
sessionInfo()
R version 2.11.0 (2010-04-22)
i486-pc-linux-gnu
locale:
[1] LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=C
[3] LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=en_GB.UTF-8
[5] LC_MONETARY=C LC_MESSAGES=en_GB.UTF-8
[7] LC_PAPER=en_GB.UTF-8 LC_NAME=C
[9] LC_ADDRESS=C LC_TELEPHONE=C
[11] LC_MEASUREMENT=en_GB.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=C
attached base packages:
[1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base
which is the same as yours (except that I'm using a slightly
earlier version of R, and on i486 rather than x86_64. Debian
Etch by the way).
