Description Miguel Coca 2002-06-08 23:02:09 UTC
On some of the included reports (at least "Expense Piechart", "Expense
Barchart", "Income Piechart" and "Income Barchart"), account names with a
non ASCII character are displayed without that character.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a new file.
2. Create the "Common Accounts" in the wizard.
3. Add a expense account named "Expénsés" (note the accents)
4. Make a transaction using the new account (i.e. transfer $10 from "cash
in  wallet" to "Expénsés").
5. Select Reports/Income & Expense/Expense Barchart.

Result: The newly created account appears as "Expnss".
Expected Result: The account should appear as "Expenses".

The problem seems to appear regardless of the locale currently selected.

I'm using gnucash 1.6.6 as packaged for Debian Woody.

This is actually a bug in Guppi not GnuCash. Guppi is unable to handle
non-ascii characters. This is apparently being fixed in the GNOME2
version of Guppi and as such will not be fixed in GnuCash until we
port it to the GNOME2 version (Probably GnuCash 2.0)
