[GNC] currency symbol problem in reports

[Gio Bacareza]

I use Arial which should have it. But for some reason Gnucash does not
render it.

If you copy paste the report to another program like a text editor or
excel, the peso sign shows up.

But to be honest I really just want to eliminate currency symbols. I mostly
work in pesos so there is no added information it gives me.

Is there a way to configure such that no currency symbol is displayed or
printed?

thanks
