[GNC] Font size in journals ver 3.5 build 3.5+ (2019-03-30)

That worked. Thanks. I played around with it a bit and ended up with 13pt times new roman; Much easier on the eyes. Appreciate the help.

Let me try to be of help.  Please don't give me credit for this as I got all of the info from this very forum.

 

1. Create a txt file named 

 

gtk-3.0.css

 

2. In the text file include the format below (substitute a different point size and font of your choice)

 

* {
font: 15px consolas, sans-serif;
}

 

3. Save the file formatted as above and with the name as above to the folder 

 

C:/Users/"name of computer"/AppData/Roaming/GnuCash

 

That's all there is to it.  Restart Gnucash and it should be using the new font.

OK.  Unfortunately I have not tried messing with font size in GnuCash on
Win 10.  If GnuCash fonts are not roughly the same size as the rest of your
workspace,  I think there is something in the gnucash folder in the start
menu to fiddle  with.   Otherwise the display font size should be adjusted.
