I'm attempting to do what should be simple, and that is display currency 
symbols in a pango markup label widget.
However, when attempting to display the Pound Sterling symbol for the UK 
currency,
I can get it to runder in a python prompt easily:

|>> print u'\u001E'
<prints pound sterling symbol>

but then if I put that in a gtk label it displays as a box with 00  
across the top and 1E across the bottom.

Question: What version of pyGTK supports unicode label strings?

|>> import pygtk
|>> pygtk.require('2.6')
|>> import gtk
|>> gtk.gtk_version
(2, 6, 8)
|>> gtk.pygtk_version
(2, 6, 0)
|>> gtk.ver

Thanks,

Robert
