Special characters not plotted

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. -- David. (OSX 10.5.8/ R 2.11.1 /R64.app)
