It depends on the fonts that are used.

I don't use Evolution myself, so I have no idea about this one.

This depends on the font used to display the cell. It is set in the toolbar. Check that the font supports the ISO8859-1 charset (e.g., using the Gnome Font Selector. Helvetiva should work. I use ISO8859-15 myself, and I get this: Gdk-WARNING **: Missing charsets in FontSet creation Gdk-WARNING **: ISO8859-15 So you can check if you get something similar, when running gnucash from the command line. I have no problems displaying most characters, though. > - Gnucash: > I know it's not on woody, but i installed it anyway. But the problem is > similar to gnumeric's.

I have no trouble displaying the á etc there, just the euro symbol. -- Note that I use Debian version 3.0 Linux mus 2.4.17mvz2 #1 Wed Feb 27 17:41:43 CET 2002 i686 unknown Matijs
