If I enter a GBP (UK Pounds Sterling) symbol into a LyX document, it
displays correctly on the screen but not in DVI or PS output. If I export
the LyX document as LaTeX, I see the following line.
\pounds{}
I believe this needs to be surrounded by $ ... $ to display correctly:
$\pounds{}$
There is a workaround for the problem in LyX by entering the $ symbols in
TeX mode but it is awkward and looks ugly in the source document.
The problem exists in v0.12.0 and 1.0.0.
