The letter 'f' seems to be cut off in the ylabel of a saved figure

Hi I have noticed that while using the italic font, the letter 'f' seems to be cut off. For example:

a = 1:10;
b = a.^2;
plot(a,b)
xl=xlabel('\it\beta');yl=ylabel('\itf\rm_D_P/\itV\rm_F_M (\itN/mm^3\rm)');
set(gca,'LineWidth',2,'FontSize',20,'FontName','Times New Roman')
set(findobj('Type','line'),'LineWidth',2)
set(xl,'FontSize',30,'FontName','Times New Roman')
set(yl,'FontSize',30,'FontName','Times New Roman')

Here, the ylabel seems to appear fine in matlab. But once you save the figure, it appears differently (cut off). How to go around this problem? One solution that worked was to give a space after \it and a space after the f, such that yl = ylabel('\it f \rm_D_P/\itV\rm_F_M (\itN/mm^3\rm)'); But is there a better solution without giving such extra spaces.

How did you save your figure? * jpg file or fig file, or...?

Saved it as .jpg and .png.

Please post the command you use for saving. This is an important detail.

I would just save it from the menu, not from the command line

It all has to do with the way Matlab saves the images. There is no any other way to save the image with your given settings but adding the extra blank space around the "f".

That is pretty inconvenient.
