Read the danish-HOWTO.  Swedish setup should be very similiar. Looks like
you have the keyboard and consolefont working already, or is your problems
in X only?
For the vga console: make sure you use the correct unicode map
(loadunimap) for whatever font (setfont) you are using.   For everything:
Make sure LANG is setup
correctly, it isn't set up by default.  LANG=no_NO solved
a lot of "?" problems for my Norwegian setup.  xterm would then display
æøåÆØÅ and other characters correctly.
