Description Geert Janssens 2013-11-14 14:32:14 UTC 
When built with guile 2, the tax invoice won't properly display the currency symbol for amounts. They all show as question marks.

When built with guile 1.8, this works fine.

Note that there's also a line "Amount Due, <currency>", with <currency> being the currency's ISO code. This continues to work.

In my test, I'm using my locale's currency, euro. So the ISO code is EUR and the symbol should be € (which displays correctly with guile 1.8, but displays as '?' with guile 2.0).
Comment 1 Geert Janssens 2013-11-20 10:55:31 UTC 
This one turned out to be a one-liner. Without an explicit call to setlocale, guile 2.0 assumes all strings are in ascii. Any character not in the ascii character set is printed as a question mark. Commit r23416.
