Using Greek in Gnucash 1.8.8

[Derek Atkins]

Hi,

I've forwarded your message to the gnucash-user list, which is where
this should have gone.  Gnucash is a gnome-1.4 app, which doesn't support
Unicode or UTF8.  So, you should make sure that you are NOT running a
UTF-8 locale setting (LANG) when you run GnuCash.  The problem you claim
is probably due to an "incorrect" LANG setting.

Good Luck,

-derek
