Ah, of course! I can just run Gnucash from terminal after changing the
locale environment variable whenever I want to print French invoices.
Excellent!

I was initially perplexed by this, and then I realized: I'm using a
customized version of the "Tax Invoice" report, which is the only
invoice report that doesn't include the option that you're referring to.
This seems to be because this report shows taxes beside each invoice
item, as well as at the end as a total, which I guess is reasonable.

The only reason I'm using "tax invoice" in particular is that it was the
only one for which I could easily locate the eguile source to customize
it, whereas I could not figure out how to edit the other invoice
reports. You've already helped more than enough, but if you have any
pointers on how I can incorporate an arbitrary css style into one of the
other invoices, the way tax invoice allows in its options, I'd be grateful.

Thanks again for your answers above! Simple, yet very helpful.
