-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I just found out about this today, and maybe other people were wondering about that too, so here's my solution: In my locale (de_DE) the currency symbol (i.e. the german version of "$" which is "DM") was printed in front of the amount without a seperating space: "DM823,21". IMHO this looks pretty ugly. After some digging and RTFM, it turned out that this is not a GnuCash related problem. Instead, the system's locale contains information on whether or not there should be a seperator at the mentioned point. Since I wasn't satified with the current setting, I had to compile a new locale file. The source code for the locale can be found in /usr/share/i18n/locales/*, i.e. /usr/share/i18n/locales/de_DE for me. I had to change the values for the key words p_sep_by_space and n_sep_by_space (in the section LC_MONETARY almost at the end of the file), and I changed those from 0 to 1. After the file editing, I had to compile the edited locale source with localedef(1) which in my case looked like this: localedef -f ISO-8859-1 -i de_DE /usr/share/locale/de_DE This indeed changed the amount printing in the desired way, i.e. I now get "DM 823,21".
