Hello Ben,
Does the workaround pointed out later in the thread you're
responding to (from the last paragraph of a very long 'Note'
section of ?pdf) help?
Well, I did not try to edit my fonts.conf but I feel this is not a PDF
issue. I have no problem to have greek letters correctly rendered in
Ubuntu 10.04 (with LaTeX, or OpenOffice Math for instance with a PDF
export). This only appears in R plots.
Note that other symbols do not render well too. I put a PDF output of
demo(plotmath) here:

Thank you.
