That's probably because your default font doesn't have a ℃ sign, so it falls back to bitmap fonts. You should report a bug to your distribution to ship the Liberation font: http://www.redhat.com/promo/fonts/ They include the ℃ sign, and can be antialiased.
actually, there's already another bug open that we should change libgweather to use "°C" (two characters) rather than "℃" (one)
