Bug Description
Binary package hint: grace
Font tool from the Window menu is supposed to help one find the syntax for special characters. For example, it reports that
\f{Symbol}£ is the way to input the "less than or equal" sign from the symbol font. However when I try to copy and paste this
into a text box, only the low-bit characters \f{Symbol} get pasted. The high-bit one does not. I have to paste it into a terminal
window, say, recopy it, and paste again in grace. Maybe it's a motif or lesstif problem, but I have only noticed it in grace so far.

In fact, sometimes I can't even paste into grace using the method described above. For example it
converts ò into ò which appears as junk in the graph.
