I am trying some graphs in SPlus2000 for Windows. I am using a 
Compaq PC with Windows 98. I am more used to the UNIX version 
of Splus 3.4.


<color><param>7F00,0000,0000</param>I want to put a Greek mu sign in the key on 
the graph. ie something 
like:

</color> Treatment 1: 5 uM per litre 

(or indeed <color><param>7F00,0000,0000</param>any other specialised character 
from a different font e.g. 
ticks from </color>Dingbats). In Unix I can do this in several ways eg 
<color><param>7F00,0000,0000</param>mixed.text.vector(), or paste in 
mixed.text() by giving it the ASCII 
number and the font number.


SPlus for Windows manual says I can change fonts, but won't tell

me how. (I can change the font on the WHOLE graph to Symbol,

but I don't want all my axis titles etc in Symbol font), It doesn't 
recognize font=13, or font = "Symbol", or anything similar.

Even the on-line help doesn't seem to have it, unless I am blind

(increasingly possible with age!)


Why do I not just use the UNIX version, you ask? Because that

creates postscript files as output. They cannot be seen on the

monitor when you include the graph in a Word document (although 
they print in hardcopy just fine). If I draw

the graph in the Windows version, I can save it as a Windows

metafile, and my clients can see it on the screen (they need

spoonfeeding).


</color>I would be most grateful for any help. I am sure it should be simple, 
but no-one I have asked locally can help me.


Sincerely<color><param>7F00,0000,0000</param>
