Ok, but I need to mix greek letters with both regular text and
numbers. One legend entry might say:

  Foo/Bar, \theta = 0,4; \kappa = 4,0

for instance.

If you have an example of this to point me to, or can tell me a little
bit more about how to do it, it would be most appreciated. I will
start looking at it now that I know it is at least possible though.

Thanks.
