[GNC] GunCash 4.0 Paper Clip and Link glyphs for file/web transaction associations

[Chris Good]

Hi Adrien,

Wow, how did I not notice I used GunCash instead of GnuCash in the subject.

I wonder why the glyph is better in Linux than Windows - maybe some-one
knows...
I wonder if it is possible to somehow install the Ubuntu font or whatever
contains the emoji section of Unicode into Windows.

The Ubuntu 'Character Map' application shows the glyphs in Unicode category:
'Symbol, Other' under Unicode Block 'Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs'.

I also wonder why GnuCash writes to the sheet directly rather than using a
treeview?
I'm currently trying to change it so there is a visual indication of an
attachment without having to go into double line view.
I cannot get it to make any difference using css but I can use code to
change the font to Italic, so now I'm working on how to get it to do that to
the Description only when there is an attachment. This seems the best I can
do at the moment.

Regards, Chris Good

The glyphs are part of the emoji section of Unicode. I don?t expect changing
the base font is going to affect them.

I?m not sure how to specify just an emoji set.

I?m also not sure if GTK CSS allows rotations and other transforms like web
CSS, but you might give it a try. However, there doesn?t seem to be any CSS
hook exposed for the cell where the glyphs are placed on the register sheet,
so I don?t think you can target them with specificity.

Regards,
Adrien
