Font problem? Using Gnucash on a Mac Mini

[muzza]

Thanks for the reply Plutocrat.

I've tried using Arial Unicode MS, which helps, but still leaves the titles
of reports and headings on the interface as number-jibberish.

The default font is always Helvetica Condensed Light, which I have in my
Font Book, yet the title always reads as a long list of fractions and
numbers. If I copy these numbers and paste into another document (word,
etc), then correct text is displayed. Also, I didn't have this problem on my
old Mac.

I'd like to try the advice below, but I don't know what is meant by home
folder, or the difference between X window version and native version.

MacOs: Create a plain text file in your home folder (~ is unix shorthand for
your home folder):
X Window version: ~/.gtkrc-2.0
native version: ~/.gtkrc-2.0.gnucash
with the following contents:
style "font"
{
  font_name = "Arial Narrow 12"
}
widget_class "*" style "font"
gtk-font-name = "Arial Narrow 12”
Substitute any font in FontBook for “Arial Narrow 12”.
TextEdit will work for creating or changing this file. Be sure to use
Format>Make Plain Text and uncheck Edit>Substitutions>Smart Quotes before
you start typing.
