font problem ??

in my script, I have:

h2=ylabel('k^2/(2 \pi)')

set(h1, 'FontSize', 14)

something I consider very standard. I usually create my plot sometimes locally (sitting in front of the terminal) and sometimes remotely (through ssh).

when I make the plot locally, the Pi shows correctly. However when I run matlab remotely on a terminal through ssh (although I am using the same installation of matlab), the Pi shows as p.

I wish matlab provided access to full latex capability natively, say through an environment variable that would allow me to use the version I want....

I assume you want to set the FontSize of h2 instead of h1?

Thanks for pointing that out... Yes I see your point but then I am using the default font size then.. I should not see the problem. Any explanations?

The default interpreter is actually TeX, and maybe that is causing your problem. Try this:

h2=ylabel('$k^2/(2 \pi)$')
set(h2, 'FontSize', 14,'Interpreter','latex')

Note that if you use the LaTeX interpreter, you need to surround your equations with dollar signs (as for an inline math expression).
