wrong characters

Hey,
I'm having some trubbel makeing subversion show nordic characters.
when I run svn log 'repository', every character thats special are printed  
as a number. This also happens
with viewsvn on the same machine. When I view the log with eclipse plugin  
(another machine) it's showing the right characters.
This is the only program I'm having this problem with, any ideas?

-Amund.

Please keep users cc'ed and avoid top-posting.

That information should help, unfortunately I've never seen that error
message. Does anyone else have any ideas?
