[GNC] Silly font question?

[John Ralls]

Followup: I found that using selector #gnc-id-main-window let me set the font-family globally on Windows.

Note that the css class names have changed since the wiki page was written so you'll need to use the Gtk Inspector to find the current classes if you want to style other things.
