Hi - I am trying to create a y-axis label on a plot which should read E(with hat)_P_A_N( PAN in subcript). I am using the following script:
ylabel('$\mathrm{\hat{E}}_{\mathrm{{PAN}}}$','Interpreter','latex', 'FontSize',11, 'FontName', 'Helvetica')
The problem is that the font type is not Helvetica - it looks more like Times New Roman. Can anyone help me change the font type or provide alternative scripting that gives me this functionality please?
Many thanks, Darren

Hi Darren - It isn't possible to specify Helvetica as the font for the LaTeX interpreter - there is a more detailed discussion of this topic here.
