[PySide] trouble with special characters in widget.setToolTip()

[Frank Rueter | OHUfx]

Thanks guys.

 >>That would imply that your tooltip uses a different default font.
Aha, that makes perfect sense, thank you!
I'm currently on OSX using Wing as my IDE. When I ran this code inside a 
host application, it worked fine (because it changes the default font).
I will verify that though before moving on. Text encoding/decoding 
always confuses me (I hardly have to deal with it, so there is no 
routine) and I want to get it right this time.

Cheers,
frank
