Sorry, no as you haven't given us the minimum information asked for in the 
posting guide and we are reduced to attempted mind reading.

What is 'font=6'?

R only has font = 1 to 5.  There is an extension on the windows() device 
only (but you have not mentioned an OS): nowadays the use of
par(family=) is preferred.  So a likely answer is to use 
par(family="serif")

BTW, this is not a 'greek character'.  It is the mathematical symbol phi, 
and that is distinct from the Greek character, and not in whatever 
'font=6' is.
