[GNC] currency symbol problem in reports

This seems to be a nagging problem with currencies in reports. I thought I
had solved this in previous versions of mac that I'm using but it's back
again with Big Sur and the remedies that worked before no longer works now.

My currency is Philippine Peso. Reports show a square looking symbol which
could probably mean it could not find the right font.

* Mac OS System Preference Region is set to the Philippines and it displays
the proper currency symbol.
* GNUCASH Preference - Accounts - Default Currency defaults to USD. Why? I
had to set it to PHP (Philippine Peso)
* GNUCASH Preference - Reports - Default Currency defaults to USD. Why? I
had to set it to PHP (Philippine Peso)
* I tried Edit - Style Sheets and manually specifying Arial which I know
for sure contains our symbol.
* The only solution that worked was to go to Tools - Security Editor and
manually specify text to Php

I have given up. So is there any way to actually just show blank? Unless it
is a foreign currency, we can just assume it's in Pesos anyways. Most of my
reports are in Php anyways so I really don't need it. There's too much
trouble to make it work. It's not worth it for me.

Thanks for the help.
