this happens when i use the pdfcairo terminal, that uses the pango
library to render text

# cat test.gp
set term pdfcairo enhanced font "Utopia"
set out 'test.pdf'
set xlabel "{/Symbol w}t"
plot sin(x) t "sin({/Symbol w}t)"
set out
# fc-match symbol ; fc-match utopia
Symbol.pfb: "Symbol" "Regular"
putr8a.pfb: "Utopia" "Regular"
# pdffonts test.pdf 
name                         type              emb sub uni object ID
---------------------------- ----------------- --- --- --- ---------
TPHAFU+Utopia                Type 1            yes yes yes      5  0
KKVWMP+DejaVuSans            CID TrueType      yes yes yes      6  0

is this a problem with gnuplot or a problem with pango? please help as
the symbol font that is used in my plots doesn't match very well with
the text font
