currency in OD

Post by mukesh » Tue May 21, 2013 11:38 pm

I am trying to setup OD in India. I've changed the Region settings in my windows7 controlPanel to apply English(India) where the currency also is set as the symbol ₹.
Restarting the system and restarting OD, what is sees is a square box instead of the currency symbol ₹ in OD. The character has been encoded in the Unicode 6.0. I am wondering if OD has any dependency on a particular version of unicode. Kindly advice

Issue Resolved: On the OpenDental->Account->Patient Account description where the payment amount is reflected, the currency unicode character "₹" was not displaying. I got it to work by changing the cellFont in ODGrid.cs from GenericSansSerif to Arial Regular.

Thank you for posting your resolution. We are currently discussing possible solutions for better ways to handle fonts for foreign users.
The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit.
