Okay, I don't precisely know what fixed it but now the font is correctly displayed for me. deleting files from /usr/share/fonts/ somewhat brought unreproducible results. I started font-manager (which I believed to be inactive since I commented out the corresponding entries in ~/.fonts.conf). In debuging earlier I added the symbol.ttf which comes with cernroot to the user fonts of the font-manager (didn't help back then). Now I removed symbol.ttf from the font manager and restored /usr/share/fonts to how my standard package installation prepared it. Now the plot gets displayed correctly.
my conclusion: - no idea what went wrong before I installed font-manager - symbol.ttf which comes with cernroot is behaving strangely using it for displaying causes wrong displaying of non embedded greek letters. - if you create pdfs always embed fonts - I learned the gs command to repair pdfs. - ttf files not only help displaying fonts, they can also break it.
