Note that it happens with some Polish letters like ś ć ą, but not with ó for example. Also only appears for me with the .pdf format, others are fine

Has there been any progress on this lately? It's a pitty would really love to have .pdf pictures for vector graphics.

I have the same issue with "-" dash as minus on yaxis when saving as 'pdf'. Using Palatino font.

I still have this issue. My workaround was to save as SVG and then convert the SVG to PDF.

Can you recreate the issue with GR alone?

[jerlich]

I am not sure what you mean by "with GR alone". Do you mean not using Julia ? Or not using plots.jl?

[Zitzeronion]

Probably the later one. using GR instead of using Plots

Should be reported to GR.
