Exporting LaTeX symbols in plots

Exporting LaTeX symbols in plots

(OP)
Hi All,

I use Matlab extensively for plotting, but I have always had a problem exporting LaTeX symbols (like \mu) in the labels on graphs.  They typically won't scale with the other fonts, and you wind up with a very small symbol.  This happens with tiff and jpeg exports, in particular.

I have actually found that in using the font Helvetica, you don't have the symbol scaling problem - you have a font scaling problem.  I can't get Helvetica to scale at all for tiffs.

These are two separate (though related) problems, really, and a solution to either one would work.

Thanks.
