~/Application Support/Gnucash/config/gtk-3.0 is the correct path on MacOS. XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set in Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/etc/gnucash/environment and needs to be changed there to override it.

I’ve found that settings.ini doesn’t work to set the font, you need a gtk.css in the same directory with contents like
* {
    font-family: Arial;
}

and whatever other CSS font directives you want.
