Re: st: subscript in categorical axis labels

["Michael N. Mitchell" <Michael.Norman.Mitchell@gmail.com>]

Dear Andrew

  I don't know if this helps, but when I bumped into this problem I found that the 
subscripts were properly displayed when I ultimately exported the file to a .eps file 
(even though the screen displayed improperly). If your ultimate goal is to export the 
graph to a file, the subscripts might display properly in the exported file.

I hope that might help,
