Please ignore my earlier reply; because the omega should have been
drawn from the Symbol font, it apparently shouldn't matter that
Utopia doesn't have Greek letters. (It might be better to be able to
specify within gnuplot the name of a symbols font, rather than that
name being externally specified -- eg, gnuplot's help pdfcairo seems
to say to use 'usual fonts subsystems' for Symbol font control.)
Anyhow, as a work-around for the specific omega problem, if you
scale the omega to be a little smaller it may look good enough.
For example:
set xlabel "{/Symbol=5 w}t"
plot sin(x) t "sin({/Symbol=5 w}t)"
