Actually none of them, I think - this is probably more like a
gnome-list question, but nevermind. :-)

In the character picker, which encoding (under "Font style" or
"Skriftstil") did you choose? It probably should be ISO-8859-1.
The GUI is pretty lame with respect to the encoding. Font style and
encoding shouldn't really be mixed like that - but perhaps it is fixed
in the soon-to-be GTK 2.

If changing encoding doesn't fix the problem, it must be a bug
somewhere.
