[John Darrington]

I see that the following change:

    charts: changed scientifc number display from e+6 type to pango markup


Uses the unicode character decimal 8729, whose formal description is "Bullet 
Operator".
This normally gets displayed as a centered dot.
Hence, graph labels will get displayed as somthing approximating to 1.23 . 10^5

I think that unicode character decimal 215 ("Multiplication Sign") would be a 
better choice.
That character is a centered diagonal cross. Meaning the labels will look more 
like
1.23 x 10^5

I think the latter is more like what users will expect.

What do you think?
