Description Bill Nottingham 2004-10-15 16:16:33 UTC

Description of problem:

GnuCash has some Problems with UTF-8 which make it useless.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnucash-1.8.9-2

Steps to Reproduce:
1. 
$ LANG=de_DE.UTF-8  (this is the default for a german installation)
$ gnucash

2. Create a new file. Use the wizard to create some accounts
   (choose "Allgemeine Konten")
3. When wizard is finished, look at the Accounts
 
Actual results:
e.g.: "Aufwendungen/Bildung/B"  instead of "Büro"
      "Aktiva/Barvermgen" instead of "Barvermögen"
Trying to rename this account (CTRL-E) will show an empty window.
The accounts can not be used.

Additional info:
Everything seems to be fine with LANG=de_DE
Comment 1 Derek Atkins 2004-10-15 21:32:40 UTC
gnome-1.4 doesn't support utf8.  this will be fixed in the gnucash gnome2 port.
You should never run gnucash 1.x in a utf8 locale.  You already have a
workaround which is the suggested fix.

Closed as wontfix because gnucash 1.x will never get utf8 support.
