The version which works (downloaded as binary from http://hledger.org/binaries/) is: hledger-0.7 with vty The current version that does not work correctly (installed with `cabal install`) is: hledger-0.8 with vty If I use the simple ncurses ui the euro sign and umlauts are displayed correctly. (in both versions) The command `hledger bal' for example should show a balance of your accounts which are written to a text file named e.g. ledger.dat So if I spent 2.00 for the office something like €2.00 Büro (for office) should appear. It does so flawelessly with the binary. With version 0.8 you see placeholders instead: â¬2.19 Büro When using `hledger add' to add a new entry to the ledger file the prompt offers placeholders too: amount 1 [â¬10.00]: >> >> In ghci: > >> Yes, with putStrLn it works fine. > > Just to test this, could you please see if you can repeat this.
