   I am currently using MATLAB-4.0 on SPARC station. I mainly use it
   for scientific plotting. But I have some problem in writing Greek
   letters in the figure.    Does anybody know how to do it in MATLAB?
   Maybe at least using Latex. 

   Along with this, how to change the default 'font' and 'linewidth' etc?

The font issue has been addressed in Matlab version 4.0a (released
11-Dec-92).  Matlab now has extra graphic handles, including FontName,
FontBold, FontSpacing,FontSize, FontItalic, FontUnderline,
FontStrikeThrough, FontShadow, and FontOutline.  This does not help
with the mixing roman and greek characters in the same string.  

I insert greek characters into LaTeX, by saving the matlab file as
Encapuslated PostScript, then reading the file into IslandDraw, which
can read and graphically edit PostScript files.  I then save the file
as EPS from IslandDraw, and insert that file into LaTeX.  (This has
the additional advantage that you get the correct BoundingBox.)

It would be nice when matlab finally manages to generate a legal
Encapsulated PostScript file.

Currently it is not possible to set the linewidth in matlab
(MarkerSize yes).  I've grumbled at MathWorks about this limitation.
