Bug Description

Binary package hint: tomboy

Whenever I want to type in the EURO-sign € into a note, instead of € a character like underscore _ or minus - is shown.

On the other hand, all common German special characters are displayed properly.
Please have a look at the attached screenshot.

This behaviour can be seen in current Ubuntu Gutsy.

That works just fine in my desktop, is this still reproducible with Tomboy 0.8? Which locales are you using? It's probably a locale issue rather than a tomboy one.

It's still not working in 0.8.

My locales are following:
~$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

In every other app (gedit, terminal, firefox,...) the € sign is working! And i didn't change anything to let tomboy have different locales...

Still an issue after the upgrades?

Yup, still the same behaviour here at my machine.

But interestingly I found, that now (?) pidgin also shows this behaviour! € is shoown as something similiar to _

If anyone knows, what else I could check/try out/etc..., I would be very thankful!

Thanks in advance!

Okay, I don't know how I couldn't notice, but I think I screwed up my system configuration... Every Gnome app cannot display by default the euro(€) sign, including firefox, pidgin, tomboy...
KDE progs are not behaving this way.
I try to figure out, but it seems it's defintely _not_ a tomboy bug.

Okay, i found the root: a bad font whithout € and several other characters, which I used as system font.

-> no bug at all!

But thanks anyway!

It wasn't a bug in tomboy, but rather a bad font.
