Thanks very much for the response. I think I left out an important
detail, however.
I want my lowercase sigma to be displayed in a specific font from the
Rdevga file (my project involves fonts). So far as I know, quote() does
not allow me to select a font. Thus, I am specifically interested in
the text() command and reasons why my example code performs differently
in R 2.3.0 vs 2.6.1.
Thanks,
Ed
