[Tikzdevice-bugs] translation of greek letters in expression

[Cameron Bracken]

Hi Karin,

As of now we don't support the R symbol fonts.  Instead all you have o  
do is put the LaTeX symbol directly in the title. So for your example  
you would use:

title("$\\lambda$",line=l3)

That's it! Translation of the R symbol font is something we hope to  
add to a future version. Thanks for your interest.
