Preserve graph labelattrs for labels using unicode?

When using unicode in a graph label, I am losing the effect of weight=bold and the font is not what I expect. This may just apply to ODS RTF (which I'm not sure). See this sample code:

ods rtf file = "H:\Figure.rtf";
ods graphics on / imagename="Figure";

title ;
footnote ;
proc sgplot data=sashelp.baseball;
scatter x=logsalary y=crhome/group=league;
xaxis label="Log(*ESC*){unicode '2081'x}(*ESC*){unicode '2080'x} Salary" 
type=log logstyle=logexpand labelattrs=(weight=bold family='arial');
yaxis label="Home Runs" labelattrs=(weight=bold family='arial');
keylegend;
;
run;
ods graphics off;
ods rtf close;

The y-axis label is the correct font, is bold, and is vector quality. The x-axis, using unicode, is not preserving any of those attributes (though it is hard to tell if the font is correct- it looks the same using family='arial unicode ms') .

On a related note, my figure legend is not vector quality, with or without unicode.

Are there any known solutions?

How does it look if you set the OUTPUTFMT=PNG?

ods graphics on / imagename="Figure" outputfmt=png;

It cleaned up the vector quality issue, bold and font, but I lost the subscripts from the unicode.

This solution worked perfectly. Thanks Dan!
