Thanks, John.

I'm using the standalone Gnucash.app.  Fink is not available as a binary yet for Snow Leopard and I'm not yet sufficiently up to speed on the Mac to risk installing from source.

My Mac settings for locale are that the language is English, but date, money and sort order are custom, tending to the Swedish, and keyboard is Swedish.  Actually, if I run 'locale' I see that everything is "C" except LC_CTYPE which is UTF-8.
