I believe this is a UTF-8 locale problem -- you probably need to fix the
locale setting.  I believe the instructions for do this are in the
mailing list archive somewhere and should also be in the FAQ.  Part of
this is a GnomeLib 1.x vs 2.x issue as well, since GnuCash is a Gnome
1.4 based application and most of Redhat 8's applications are Gnome 2.x
applications.
