Dear Erik, thanks for the nice explanation of your OFX import with utf-8 characters. Some questions:
- Which menu item did you use for the OFX import in gnucash - "File -> Import -> Import OFX", or any of the Online Banking items? - Which libofx version is installed on your system? - Can you provide a (small) example file with at least one line of Japanese characters which is currently not imported correctly?
