Bug Description

Binary package hint: gcalctool

1) Ubuntu 10.10
2) 5.32.0-0ubuntu4
3) gcalctool was expected to display the new indian rupee sign[0] in the currency conversion (U+20B9)
4) gcalctool displays instead the (generic) rupee sign[1] (not really true, it displays U+0052 and U+0073 to represent this sign instead of U+20A8)
