Kendo support only "N" format for number format. If not supported format is provided (for example "F2" for fixed point with 2 decimal), the number could have F in the front, or be truncated etc. Would like to be able to use a standard .Net formats to avoid such a problems
The supported number formats are listed in thsi topic from the documentation: http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/framework/globalization/numberformatting Although not all .Net number formats are supported out of the box, you can use custom formatting, as explained in the article, to achieve your goal.
