[GNC] Currency symbol (INR) not showing on Tax Invoice report

[David T.]

Not that I am an expert on these issues, but your observation suggests that the font that the Tax Invoice uses lacks a valid INR symbol. I believe there are style sheets for that report which can be used to change the font and remedy the problem (provided the newly-selected font has a Rupee symbol).

For instance, I have renamed the column header for “Action” on my report to “SAC” because this is the place I capture the GST related code that’s mandatory in our invoice. Since Printable/Easy/Fancy invoices don’t allow me change column headers, I have to use Tax Invoice for now.

So I went into that currency editor and changed the rupee symbol to just text - INR. Now instead of the symbol, it shows the text INR for all amounts on the invoice. I can work with this for now, but the problem remains a puzzle.
