I'm just about tearing my (remaining) hair out over ubuntu...
I cannot get it to render a pound sign (£) in certain apps. In
particular gnome-term (and so vim) and the ptys.
can anyone tell me what is wrong? Some apps (like this thunderbird
client and the keyboard selection tool) can render the pound (£) and the
euro (€) correctly but in gnome-terminal they render as "?" and "EUR"
respectively. In pty1 they render as "#<CR>" and "<beep?>" respectively.

"oh Debian Etch, why did I forsake thee..." Seriously considering a
