Bug Description
i am using the 0.42 release and I have two problems
with the text tool on Windows (XP prof sp1):
1- when I type a string containing + or -, the
character is not typed but the view zooms in or out
instead. I think that shorcuts using characters should
be disabled when typing a text (gimp is doing this
right for example).
2- In windows, to access symbols not present on the
keyboard, such as the degree sign °, one can use some
key combinations (alt0176 for the degree sign). This
works in every application (MS Office, Firefox, JabRef,
Matlab, ...) except Inskcape and Gimp. Maybe it is a
GTK/Pango/Whatever bug.

1. The keypad + and - are reserved for zoom. To type them in
text, use the keys on the main keyboard.
2. Use Ctrl+U for entering Unicode codes of characters. This
works in Inkscape on every platform and has a convenient
preview in the statusbar. I don't know why Alt+numbers does
not work, but if it is so, this is indeed not our bug
because we don't do anything special to block it. Try to
contact GTK developers about that issue.
