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

[Adrien Monteleone]

You can assign a stylesheet to the Tax Invoice in options. (it uses the Default stylesheet, by default)

So via Edit > Stylesheets you can either specify a different font for the Default stylesheet that contains the symbol, or add a new stylesheet just for the Tax Invoice. If you’re changing fonts on Default, you can do so just for Numbers if you like. (leaving the rest of the fonts assignments alone)

I also noticed that the Tax Invoice options contain a Custom Css block.

You might instead be able to change the font just for numbers there if you can find the class you need to target. (probably open the invoice in a browser and use the built-in inspector) This method would allow you to always get the Rupee symbol no matter what stylesheet is selected.

Regards,
Adrien

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.
