Strange extra character in text reports

[Daniel Andrews]

Hi all,

Thanks for all your advice and help.... one for the GNUCash FAQ's

I found out how to fix the odd characters appearing in my text reports:

I edited .dmrc in my home directory to read:

8< snip

[Desktop]
Session=01KDE
#Language=en_GB.UTF-8
Language=en_GB.ISO-8859-1

8< snip

Now everything is fine ;-)
