• [X ] Mandatory: I have tested the latest development version from http://builds.jabref.org/master/ and the problem persists

In the abstract and comment fields, the LaTeX command $\pi$ renders "pi" rather than the expected "π" (lower case pi) in the preview panel. However, the LaTeX form of all other Greek letters, including Π (upper case pi) renders correctly in the preview panel. If "π" is present in the abstract field and Convert -> "Unicode to LaTeX" is used, "π" is converted to "$\phi$" and is rendered as "φ" in the preview panel.

Note: While I tested the rendering of all LaTeX Greek letters I did not test the conversion of all Greek letters from Unicode to LaTeX

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Enter "$\pi$ in Abstract field.
2. Observe "pi" in preview panel.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Paste π into Abstract field.
2. Select Convert -> "Unicode to LaTeX" in context menu
3. Observe "$\phi$" in Abstract field.
4. Observe "φ" in preview panel.
