[reportlab-users] Reportlab 2.1 "Symbol" font problem on FC8

[Gary Nutbeam]

I have been reading my character selection program wrong (kcharselect).
When I selected Symbols, and clicked on the omega it showed in the grid
then, it was telling me it was 0057. If I type in 2126 manually it goes
to table 33 and an omega character. I understand what I was doing wrong
now. Thank you very much for clearing the blockage :-)
