Greek characters in exported *.eps

A plot with a greek character \chi in the frame label was produced. I
converted the textstyle because I do not like the courier numbers on the
axis. Then  the plot was exported as *.eps. The file was then included into
a *.tex document. The dvi and ps output on Windows NT 4 using miktex 2.0
showed the character properly. After transferring the *.eps to a linux
environment (suse 7.0, tetex) the character is now shown as latin c instead
of \chi. 

Where is my mistake? Maybe due to the use of
TextStyle->{FontFamily->"Times"} Mathematica uses the installed fonts that
are not available on the other computer. Can I install the fonts on this
machine to get the proper output with latex?

Thanks.

Here is in detail what I tryed to do:


There is a function called chi (Flory-Huggins-Parameter of polymer solution
interaction) that is connected to a indirect measurable variable A2 (second
virial coefficient) as following (rho - density, v molar volume):

\!\(\[Chi][A2_] := \(-A2\)\ \(\[Rho]\_2\^2\) v\_1 +  .5\)

Some different rho and v are defined for some substances:

\!\(\(THF = {\ v\_1 \[Rule] 81.11};\)\[IndentingNewLine]
  \(DCM = {\ v\_1 \[Rule] 63.6};\)\[IndentingNewLine]
  \(Toluol = {\ v\_1 \[Rule] 106.4};\)\[IndentingNewLine]
  \(PLGA = {\[Rho]\_2 \[Rule] 1.35};\)\[IndentingNewLine]
  \(PDMS = {\[Rho]\_2 \[Rule] 0.96};\)\)

I plotted the function for different combinations of polymer / solvent and
included a legend:

<<Graphics`Legend`

\!\(\(pic = 
      Plot[{\(\[Chi][A\_2] /. THF\) /. PLGA, \(\[Chi][A\_2] /. DCM\) /. 
            PLGA, \(\[Chi][A\_2] /. DCM\) /. 
            PDMS, \(\[Chi][A\_2] /. Toluol\) /. PDMS}, {A\_2,  .000,  .005},

        PlotStyle \[Rule] {Dashing[{ .08,  .01}], Dashing[{ .04,  .01}], 
            Dashing[{ .06,  .001,  .02}], Dashing[{}]}, Frame \[Rule] True, 
        Axes \[Rule] None, 
        TextStyle \[Rule] {FontFamily -> "\<Times\>", 
            FontSize \[Rule] 
              8}, \[IndentingNewLine]FrameLabel \[Rule] \
{\*"\"\<\!\(A\_2\)\>\"", "\<\[Chi]\>"}, 
        PlotLegend \[Rule] {"\<PLGA/THF\>", "\<PLGA/DCM\>", "\<PDMS/DCM\>",
"\
\<PDMS/Toluol\>"}, LegendShadow \[Rule] None, 
        LegendPosition \[Rule] {\(- .751\), \(- .52\)}, 
        LegendTextSpace \[Rule] 2.5];\)\)
