Wine and Swedish fonts

Same problem like you, but with Russian language.
I can use wine to see Russian letters in my Windows program, but I can't 
type in Russian.

Perhaps, the problem is that I don't have a Russian keymap created for 
wine. UTF8 keyboard settings in my Linux doesn't transfer characters 
correctly into wine. There should be some translation in the middle. I 
haven't got the time to find a solution, yet.

Maybe somebody knows this.
