I made the proposed edit, but to no avail. I'm not running GnuCash in 
X11, but natively using Quartz, using the MacPorts installation 
<http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/MacOSX/MacPortsDetail#Using_MacPorts_to_install_the_native_Quartz_version_of_GnuCash>. 
There's gotta be a way to modify the installation -- even if I have to 
add more Gnome components -- to change the font GnuCash uses. I just 
don't have the Unix chops to figure it out.
