Strange Pound sign display

[Ashley Kitson]

Hi

I'm UK based with GBP accounting currency.  Running on Redhat 8 and 
GnuCash 1.8.  In my reports the pound sign is displayed as
acute capital A followed by teh pound sign, i.e. 2 characters.  On 
inputs screens and in the accounts scren, it displays as the single 
pound sign (£).  Any ideas on how to correct this as it messes up the 
display, particularly when trying to print a report.

Kind Regards
Ashley
