Greek symbol in a plot axis title

I'm having a wierd problem with Enterprise Developer Version 7.0.6 for
Microsoft Windows : 2005 in windows XP.

I create a plot with the command
plot(t,deltaD,type="l",xlab="time, s",ylab="x, m")
with the graphics option Create editable graphics" turned on.

I then click on the y label, and use Edit-in-place to "insert
the symbol capital Delta in front of the "x".  If I stop there,
the label looks okay, but if I try to change the font size for
that label to 30 (whether I do that before or after adding the
Delta), the Delta symbol gets turned sideways.

Is there a way to insert the Delta in my original call to plot?
If not, any suggestions of what to do here?

Thanks.
