Hi Santhosh,

It may be your gnucash installation is using a font that's not having the currency symbol you 
want to use.

Depending on which part of gnucash you want to use a different font there are two ways to do 
so:

1. All of gnucash, except for the reports: Gnucash ships with a small tool "Select Theme" which 
can be used to change the font used by gnucash. You should find it in the start menu in the 
same group as gnucash.

2. For reports, you can change font settings via the stylesheets used by the reports. 
Stylesheets can be configured via menu Edit->Style Sheets.

Let us know if this helps.

Regards,

Geert
