Description of problem:
When I press Shift+3 in gnome-terminal, a UK Pound sign is not shown.
See screenshot.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Shift+3 in gnome-terminal

Additional info:

Here's the text pasted from the screenshot. Note the odd character does paste as
a pound sign, so gnome-terminal is not displaying it correctly.

[root@localhost root]# 1 ! 2 " 3 � 4 $ 5 %

Comment 2 Havoc Pennington 2003-04-28 20:04:50 UTC 
Your font probably doesn't have pound sign, and vte doesn't do fontsetting yet
(fallback fonts for chars not present in current font)

Is this fixed in Fedora Core 1?
Comment 4 Nalin Dahyabhai 2003-11-20 21:04:59 UTC 
Yes, it should be.  Fontsetting was implemented in an earlier 0.11
version than was included in FC1, so it's in there.  One of the
documentation files (/usr/share/doc/vte-0.11.10/iso2022.txt) can be
catted to demonstrate this.  Closing.  Thanks!
