Getting the locale right is a general solution rather than a gnc 
specific one, A

Re: Transaction report ?? currency symbol

[r0bis]

Thanks Adrien,

I sorted this issue. It was the case that docker image had no specific
locale set so it was the fallback to POSIX/ASCII

Once I compiled the docker image with correct locale everything was fine:

FROM ubuntu
MAINTAINER "R"
ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND noninteractive
RUN apt-get update -q && apt-get install -y \ 
locales \
mysql-client \
gnucash \
gnucash-docs \
yelp \
dbus-x11 \
--no-install-recommends \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* \
&& rm -rf /src/*.deb

# LOCLES: uncomment chosen locale to enable it's generation
RUN sed -i 's/# en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8/en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8/' /etc/locale.gen  
# generate chosen locale
RUN locale-gen en_GB.UTF-8  
# set system-wide locale settings
ENV LANG en_GB.UTF-8  
ENV LANGUAGE en_GB  
ENV LC_ALL en_GB.UTF-8  
# verify modified configuration
RUN dpkg-reconfigure --frontend noninteractive locales  

RUN  groupadd gnucash \
&& useradd -g gnucash -G video gnucash -m

# run gnucash as non-privileged user
USER gnucash

ENTRYPOINT ["/usr/bin/gnucash", "--logto", "stderr"]

Re: Transaction report ?? currency symbol

[Adrien Monteleone]

You didn’t specify what type of container, but since you mentioned Ubuntu I’ll 
hazard a guess that it’s LXD and not Docker.

It sounds like the container isn’t exposing the locale settings of the host. 
That might be by design, but I’m not sure what the logic would be on that.

Someone else here might have some tips, but I’d think the answer is more likely 
to be found on a LXD forum.

Do you have any other apps in the same/similar containers that are having issue 
with locale settings?

Also, you said your default currency is set to GBP, is this within Gnucash? or 
the container? or the host?

If you set the default currency to dollars, does it show “$” properly? Do other 
currencies work at all?

Does changing the container locale to en_GB or en_UK work?

I’ve also run into problems with fonts in containers. Perhaps the report font 
is either not accessible or it doesn’t contain the proper £ sign. Did you set a 
custom font in the report stylesheet or is this already the default Gnucash 
font?

Lots of potentials here that need to be narrowed down unless you get lucky with 
someone else already experiencing the same issue.

Adrien

Transaction report ?? currency symbol

[r0bis]

Hi, I am running gnucash from a container. Everything seemed to work fine but
then I run a transaction report and you can see in the image that currency
symbol is represented by ??For that container (Ubuntu) locale is en_US, but
I have set default currency to GBP as my transactions are in pounds. Is
there a way to solve this?Many thanks, Rob
