Hello all!

My problem is that my greek characters are being truncated when I try to use them in x- & y-axis labels. For example, the code:

ylabel('\phi [cm^2]','FontSize',14)

produces a y-axis label that looks like a lower-case phi that has been cut in half. Has anyone encountered this problem before, or can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

Update: I am using MATLAB R2010a (7.10.0.499) on Mac OS X Lion (10.7.2).

Did you solve the problem? I am facing the same issue with 2014a.

I am facing the same issue with 2023b. I found out that adding an empty subscript (e.g., \phi_{ }) solves the problem.

You can try the following alternatives to see if they resolve the issue you are facing:

1. You can specify a different font that supports Greek characters well:

ylabel('\phi [cm^2]', 'FontSize', 14, 'FontName', 'Arial')

2. You can use Unicode characters directly in your labels: (In this case, char(966) corresponds to the Unicode character for the lowercase Greek letter phi (φ).)

ylabel(char(966) + " [cm^2]", 'FontSize', 14)

3. If you prefer to use the LaTeX interpreter, ensure that it is enabled and try specifying the full LaTeX code:

ylabel('$\phi \, [cm^2]$', 'FontSize', 14, 'Interpreter', 'latex')
