title: .eps figure labels not displaying correctly when using LaTeX
body: <p>I am saving images to .eps using python and Matplotlib. </p>
  
  <p>LaTeX is not reading the image labels correctly, in that the labels seem to be dropping characters.  I suspect it has something to do with "math mode" and the labels. The label (in Python) is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ylabel(r'$\varepsilon_{x}$ ($\mu$m)') 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The only things showing up are the elements that are in math mode (between the $ signs), but not the subscript {x}. So instead of a nice epsilon with a subscript followed by the units, I am getting an epsilon, and a mu, and nothing more.  </p>
  
  <p>I can't just include everything inside $ signs, as that would screw up the look of the m and the ( and )s, and that doesn't explain why {x} isn't working.</p>
  
  <p>I can also save things as png, and convert them to eps, but that introduces a bunch of resolution issues and removes the ability to edit the labels inside the eps.  Any other program designed to look at the .eps file directory displays it properly.  It appears to be <em>only</em> LaTeX that is giving me issues.</p>
