Hi everybody,
I have a TH2D histogram with an axis label containing “#Delta” in a TCanvas. Running CINT, this is being displayed correctly. However, when I use TCanvas::SaveAs to create a PDF, something goes wrong with the font and #Delta turns to Ø. This does not happen when formulas are being typeset with PDFLaTeX on the same machine, which leads me to believe it’s a problem with ROOT. Can anybody help?
Edit: The #circ symbol turns into a Greek Upsilon, turn.
Which ROOT version are you using ? on which machine ?
I do not see this problem. For me both #Delta and #circ are correct in a PDF file.
Can you provide a 3 lines example using TLatex and showing this issue ?
Sure!
I’m using ROOT 5.34/10 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
Example below. (Not three lines, I hope that’s no issue.)
TH1D* h = new TH1D("h","hist Delta #Delta circ #circ",100,-5,5);
h->GetXaxis()->SetTitle("mu #mu");
h->GetYaxis()->SetTitle("nu #nu");
TCanvas c("c","c",400,300);
h->Draw();
c.SaveAs("TLatex_test.pdf");
You can find the PDF in the attachments.

I have exactly the same problem. Yes, it’s a pdf viewer issue, but it only affects pdf generated from root. Was any solution found eventually? Thanks.
Can you post a working pdf not produced by ROOT and a not working one produced by ROOT ?
Which previewer are you using ?
Can you post a macro producing a wrong PDF ?
Late to the party, but I can reproduce this with ROOT v6.22/06 (and evince 3.38.2 for what it’s worth). My workaround is to save as eps then call epstopdf.

Is it maybe an issue of a missing font in the pdf?
