Hello,
I have a problem with the plotting of special characters that just
occurred recently.
For example when I use the following code:
plot(1,1)
mtext(expression(phi))
Instead of the special character I get a black square. This actually
happens for all special characters in a plot.
Any idea why this occurs? May be even related to fonts on my Mac?
Very possibly. You can try with Font Book.app to see if you have a
corrupted font. When this happened to me I had two entries for Symbol
and one of them was corrupt. Deleting that one restored expected
behavior.
