I cannot answer your question but I can tell you that the answer may
vary depending on which version of GnuCash you are using, which
particular fields you are having trouble with, which operating
system(and version) your machine is using, which local settings you are
using, and possibly other font-significant issues. 

If you tell us about those, there may be a developer who can answer your
question.
