Testcase that contains account names with swedish characters in UTF-8. (2.62 KB, text/plain)
2003-02-11 11:28 UTC, mikma.gnomebugz 		Details

Description David Monniaux 2003-02-05 23:18:10 UTC 
In UTF-8 locales, if account names have accented characters, they are 
displayed incorrectly in the graphical and text reports.
Comment 1 Christian Stimming 2003-02-06 13:24:28 UTC 
Part of this is simply the same problem as bug#84604 which cannot be
fixed in GnuCash.

If you have problems with the text reports, too, then please describe
the necessary steps to reproduce the problem here in detail. LANG
setting, actual characters, actual report, maybe with sample GnuCash
data file. Thanks a lot.

Comment 3 mikma.gnomebugz 2003-02-11 11:32:38 UTC 
I have problems with the text reports too. The following steps
reproduce the problem.

1. Execute GnuCash in an UTF-8 locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 gnucash
2. Open the attatched example: utf-8-problem.cash (attachment id=14256)
3. In the "Account Summary" both account names are wrong. They should
be "Tillgångar" and "Lön".
4. The same problem appears when the report is exported in html.

I'm just going through some old bugs--since
mikma@users.sourceforge.net has provided the requested information,
I'm reopening.
Comment 5 Christian Stimming 2005-11-11 10:05:33 UTC 
Development on the 1.8.x branch has halted now. The current development is
progressing based on gtk2/gnome2 in SVN
http://gnomesupport.org/wiki/index.php/GnuCashSvn . These problems in the
supporting libraries will therefore be fixed in the upcoming gnucash-2.x release
series.
