greek letters cut off in y-axis subplot label

I'm having issues getting R2013a to properly display greek letters in the y-axis for a subplot. I've tried using tex and latex interpreters and neither seems to work as intended.

I've used the following with no success:

ylabel('$\lambda$E','Interpreter','LaTex')

ylabel('$\lambda$ E','Interpreter','LaTex')

ylabel('\lambdaE','Interpreter','Tex')

ylabel('\lambda E','Interpreter','Tex')

This seems to be unique to subplots. I don't have the same problem in full plots.

Are there any other properties I can set to get it to display properly? Changing the 'margin' property did not work.

See if reducing the font size does what you want.

Changing the font size had no effect on the display of lambda.

Submit this to MathWorks as a bug report. There may be a published fix for it. Note that it could have been corrected in later releases.

This issue appears to have been corrected in later releases. I re-ran my script using R2015b and lambda displays properly.

Try putting spaces before the string. Nobody will notice if a space gets chopped off:

ylabel('   $\lambda$E', 'Interpreter', 'LaTex')

Unfortunately, this did not work. Lamba is still only half a letter.
