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

[Deva -]

Adrien,

I am happy to raise a bug, but after reading all responses on this issue, perhaps it’s not a bug even.

Geert and you pointed out that the report can be changed using CSS styling, so someone with that know-how may be able to get what they want. I am ok with the workaround for now.

Besides, if I recall correctly, Christopher also mentioned that since Tax Invoice report is eguile-based, it’s unlikely to be maintained. I am not even sure what eguile is, but I seem to like the presentation, flexibility and layout of both the balance sheet and tax invoice reports. So it’s unfortunate that the eguile reports may be going away soon.

Cheers.

Glad to hear you can get the info you need, sorry to hear the suggestion doesn?t work.

I?d say this is bug worthy.

Adrien,

Thanks for the pointer on how to figure the font associated with a symbol. Yes, I now see the names of all fonts for the various rupee symbols (including Helvetica).

However, when I edit the default stylesheet to use any of the the available rupee symbol fonts (I tried a couple of them - there were too many to try all of them), the tax invoice report still doesn?t show the symbol.

So for now, I am afraid I have to stick with the text version of the symbol.

Cheers.

In Character Viewer, look up the rupee symbol via a search. Click the glyph for it in the middle pane. You?ll then see a list of font variations on the bottom right. As you click each one, at the top right you?ll get an enlarged version and just below that, you?ll see the name of the font it belongs to.

Adrien

Geert is probably right.

As I mentioned in my previous post, I did try to change the default stylesheet fonts to a few commonly used fonts in documents (Arial/Helvetica/MS Sans Serif), but rupee symbol didn?t come up for any of them.

I can see from the character viewer on my Mac that there are a number of variations of the rupee symbol available, but I can?t figure out which font is used on each of those variations. So for the time being I have changed the symbol to text (INR) in the currency editor.

Cheers.
