[freeside] Changing the Currency Symbol in the PDF Invoice

[Julius Igugu]

Thanks for the reply.

I already did that but the total and subtotals in the invoice still display the
'$' sign.

Also, some parts of the web interface still display the '$' sign.  

Do I have to change the system's default currency?

Thanks.
