[GNC] currency symbol problem in reports

[John Ralls]

Not in settings, in the security editor. Open the Currencies namespace, find and select the currency, and select Edit. There's a spot for Display Symbol. Deleting it will get the default but a space will replace it. That might make amounts look odd in some places but should be OK on most.

Regards,
John Ralls
