Yes, definitely a good question.

By the way, I looked back through the thread and couldn't find exactly which 
invoice report we are talking about. I found "Easy Invoice", "Fancy Invoice" 
and "Printable Invoice". I tried with all three on linux (starting with 
LC_ALL=fa LANG=fa gnucash), but I didn't see any problem with any of these 
three.

Perhaps it's a good idea to create a bugreport for this. It's easier to track 
all relevant information in there (and to add screenshots and the like).
