[GNC] Font problem

[Peter West]

In my case, my font problem in 3.6 on Mac Mojave appeared when I ran a report – balance sheet. Characters weren’t corrupted, but glyph (drawn character) mapping was. I eliminated the problem by specifying the font, rather than staying with the default.

Obviously this is not the same as the OP’s problem, but it indicates some strange font-related issues in 3.6.

To me, "bullet holes" suggests some sort of corrupted font definition. Your suggestion to try different fonts should clear that ambiguity up.

You only need this if you want to run the GTKInspector on MacOS to find out the hooks to tweak various UI parts via that custom CSS file. But even then, you’ll only need to do that for those elements not documented already on the wiki. (though most of those not documented aren’t alterable by CSS anyway)
