Did some messages directly with him that included images of what he 
was doing. Problem was with labels and not the actual diagrams. 

The labels where entered using the subscript or superscript ctrl keys, but 
when the graphs were showing, the sub and super options were gone, 
and the labels showed as regular characters. Found that if the sub/super 
characters were entered as unicode ctrl-shift-u then they would stay 
correctly. Unfortunately, not all characters have unicode for sub/super, 
but many do. Would have thought the unicode would have the 26 letters 
upper and lower case with both sub/super characters. Total of 104 
characters. But some don't seem to exist. 

The images he sent made it clear on what his issue was.
