figure text cut off when saved

I am annotating a figure with text. The .fig looks fine, but when I save it as a jpeg or png, the sigmas are partially cut off (righthand edge of both, though my other annotations are OK.
htext=text(-2.5,40,sprintf('r=0.4214'));
htext2=text(-1.2,35,sprintf('-1\\sigma'));
htext3=text(0.75,40,sprintf('1\\sigma'));
htext4=text(-0.15,40,sprintf('\\mu'));
set(htext,'fontsize',20,'color',[0.42 0.42 0.42],'fontweight','bold');
set([htext2,htext3,htext4],'fontname','arial','fontsize',20,'color',[0.71 0.71 0.71],'fontweight','bold');
I have tried the following to fix the problem:
-Saved with command: print -dpng PDOcorr.png
-Saved from figure window using file-->saveas
-Used command set(gca, 'ActivePositionProperty', 'OuterPosition');
-Changed text location, size, and font
-used sprintf and also just used text('\sigma')
I cannot get my sigmas to appear in full in saved images! Please help! Also, I am working on a mac with R2012a. Have already dealt with a few matlab-mac bugs... wondering if figure text is another but cant find anything in bug reports.

I have the same problem - it's not related to the length of the string (as far as I can tell) - the last part of a letter in all my axis labels and titles get cut off when saving. It's not a full solution, but if you add a couple spaces and then a period after the desired text, it generally fixes the issue. Doesn't seem to matter what file type you save as - I always use .png, but have tried .jpg too.

Is it cutoff because the title is too long? If so, make your figure larger so that the title fits. Or change to a smaller font.

Try saving as a .emf file or other format. jpg is not a good format for graphs with lines and text.

Same issue here, running R2012a. My title, legend and x-axis labeling are all cut by one character. I added a few spaces after the title and axis label but the legend was still cut. I put a period after the data label which worked but it didn't cut the period? weird.
i.e. title('Resultant Force ')

Like I told someone earlier today, try using a smaller font or adjusting the 'InnerPosition' property.
