It's drawn in a different font; probably because many of the glyphs you
can produce with plotmath don't exist in the fonts used for plain text
(but I am guessing).

Why can't you do all the labels using expression() if this bothers you
so?

plot(1:10, main = expression(bar(x) == dat),
     ylab = expression(foo == bar),
     xlab = expression("something else" == the~other))

Apologies if this has already been discussed/dismissed. I don't see the
rest of the thread in your message and I've been away from my email for
several weeks and didn't follow the list closely during that period.
