Cyrillic in reports

[Reinke Bonte]

I am not sure whether this is an GtkHTML bug. I have the same problem
with Japanese characters in reports. There might be something wrong with
my locale setting, but in my case gnucash writes those strange entities
into the account (.xac) file. 

Sergei, can you read through your account file whether you have the same
problem there? In my case (eucJP encoding), preliminary tests suggest,
that the entities in the account file are actual unicode encodings,
however, they are not unicode encodings of the Japanese characters, but
unicode encodings of the ISO-8859 representation of the eucJP encoding
of the Japanese characters.

The reult is that the Japanese characters show correctly on the
register, but not in the reports.

Please let me know, if I am completely mistaken.
