At default, Mac Osx uses “Sfr.” as the currency symbol for swiss francs. This causes troubles because of the dot in some applications. As Example in Billings, one of my favorite apps to do invoicing.
To change the currency symbol on Mac Os X 10.6 open a terminal and type:
defaults write .GlobalPreferences AppleICUNumberSymbols -dict 0 ‘.’ 1 ‘.’ 10 ‘,’ 8 ‘CHF’
press enter and done.
The fully correct command line would be:
defaults write .GlobalPreferences AppleICUNumberSymbols -dict 0 ‘.’ 1 ‘’’ 10 ‘.’ 17 ‘’’ 8 ‘CHF ‘
Best wishes,

cheers for that!
make sure to use ‘
defaults write .GlobalPreferences AppleICUNumberSymbols -dict 0 ‘.’ 1 ”’ 10 ‘.’ 17 ”’ 8 ‘CHF ‘
