No console work necessary. Not sure what OS you are on, but just use 
your favorite text editor, but be sure to use Linux/Unix line endings. 
(some versions of Notepad I think use Windows endings) And of course 
save in plain text, not rich text or anything formatted.

Create a file called gtk-3.0.css containing at the least:

* {
   font-size: 16px;
}

This will of course affect every single text element of the UI, like a 
magnifying glass.

Since you know CSS, you know you can play with the 16 and the px unit. 
(not all Web CSS is recognizable in GTK, but much of it is)

That wiki page goes into more detail about where to save the file, and 
what else you can put in it. (to target certain parts of the UI rather 
than using the "*" sledgehammer.

Regards,
Adrien

I looked at the documentation and all I could find was a style sheet for reports. My built-in Mac tricks for screen reading (control+, track pad motions) do not work with GnuCash.
