I’m not versed on settings.ini syntax, but you might need to quote the font name so it doesn’t see it as 2 fonts. ("Calibre 14" instead of “Calibre" and “14")

Also, check your currency list in GnuCash and the assigned symbol for Rupee there. It is possible to customize the unicode glyph. The wrong one might be assigned. Finally, you also might find it easier to either change your Windows locale currency (if that works for you) to Rupee, or else try to assign a 4th or 5th level keyboard key to the Rupee so you can type it without needing the ALT+x method. (you would use the ALT key with some other like CTRL in a combo) 

Finally, GnuCash uses GTK+ and not the Windows UI directly. GTK+ does not support the ALT+x input method. (which is Windows specific) It does support entering Unicode hex codes though. See this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_input#In_X11_(Linux_and_Unix_variants)

Adrien
