    Saul's PDF has, at least in Figure 3, non-greek letters for Omega.

    When I look at the Postscript file I sent out, the greek letters are
    just fine.

    I'm guessing that there was some problem in the conversion to PDF that
    Saul did. When it comes to embedding fonts, PDFs are a pain in the butt
    in any event.

    The font used in these figures was the standard Postscript "Symbol"
    font. Probably it didn't get embedded into the Postscript file because
    it *is* a standard font, but that font just must not have been
    available on whatever machine was used to convert the postscript to PDF.

    When I do the ps2pdf conversion myself, the greek letters come through
    just fine.
