Hi Jeff,
I don't have the problem with the overlapping m. The impact of the
presence of the color function seems to be that the font is replaced
by a bitmapped version or so. Without the color function the font is
smoothed and anti-aliased, with the color function it's not.
Looks like a clear bug to me. You might consider reporting this to
support at wolfram.com.
I don't seem to need the [#]& behind the colorfunction. It's a
redundant notation anyways.
I used a slightly modified version of your code:
Plot[x, {x, 1, 1000}, ColorFunction -> (ColorData["VisibleSpectrum"]),
ColorFunctionScaling -> False, Filling -> Axis, Frame -> True,
FrameLabel -> "Wavelength (\[Mu]m)"]
The y=x in the Plot argument was probably erroneous.
Cheers -- Sjoerd

Also, if you change \[Mu] to a standard character like m, the formatting looks perfectly acceptable. To be honest, I don't really understand the reason for the [#] & following the ColorData tag, but the gradient doesn't seem to work properly without it. Is my syntax correct?
