Awesome!  Is there a site that documents all this and more?  Thanks so much

Octave 4.0,0

graphics_tolkit qt or fltk

plot([ 0 1],[0 1],'k');
text(0.5,0.5,'\lambda^2')

produces a lovely greek character in the middle of the display, but

print -deps greektest.eps

produces an eps file w/o the greek character.

This is more in the way of a query to add the capability than anything else.  Sometimes greek characters are a must.

​If you can use gnuplot backend you can do e.g. things like:

​octave:1> graphics_toolkit("gnuplot")
octave:2> setenv("GNUTERM", "qt")
octave:3> set(0, 'DefaultAxesFontname', 'Times New Roman')
octave:4> set(0, 'DefaultTextFontname', 'Times New Roman')
octave:5> t=linspace(0,0.99,100);
octave:6> l = 500 ./ sqrt(1-t.^4);
octave:7> plot(t,l)
octave:8> axis([0,1,200,2400]);
octave:9> title ('倫敦穿透深度')
octave:10> ylabel('λ (Å)')
octave:11> xlabel('温度 (T/T_c)')
octave:12> print("l_vs_t.pdf", "-dpdfcairo", "-FTimes New Roman:18")

(and get the attached result)
