Hi,

These are user questions and therefore should be asked on the
gnucash-user mailing list.  I've forwarded this thread there
and replied should stay on that list.  You will need to subscribe

GnuCash defaults to using your system's locale currency setting.
So if your system is in the Indonesian locale it should default to
using the IDR.

Changing existing data is hard.  There is no mechanism for changing
it en-masse.

While it's not supported by us, you COULD use a tool like 'sed'
to convert all instances of ">USD<" to ">IDR<", assuming you have
no USD at all...  But you're better off (if you're just starting out)
making sure that you set your locale properly and then rebuild your
accounts.

Unfortunately no, there isn't a good way to control that from within
GnuCash.  Your best option is to export the report to an HTML file, load
it into firefox, and then print it from there.
