Those (apart from sigma) are characters with more than 1 unicode 
codepoint, and the codec that reportlab registers for symbol only 
encodes the other one.  The attached patch to rl_codecs.py will let you 
use those codepoints.

Alternatively you can use U2126 OHM SIGN for Omega, U2206 INCREMENT for 
Delta and U00B5 MICRO SIGN for mu.

As the other fonts don't contain the greek letters, reportlab's 
substituting them with symbol.
