Oh ok, I see. Thank you very much for all the information (also the tip about mailing lists, I never used them before)!

It would be great to see a renew in GnuCash, it’s such a powerful and well-designed program that’s a pity to use it with the feeling of using something a bit “clumsy”. I mean, outside Linux obviously, for that it’s perfect.

Best regards,
Gabriele

As I pointed out to Taull Boy earlier, Windows does scaling differently from macOS. There's no scaling that you can do that would affect this.

GnuCash is a Linux program that's ported to macOS and Win32. Linux uses the ancient POSIX spec for localization, so your customizations in System Preferences aren't usable. You can set a different locale for GnuCash if there's a country that matches what you like, see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Locale_Settings.

Hi,

For some reason I didn’t receive the emails with the answers form Adrien and Peter. Can you please check if you put me in cc? I’ve discovered them just because Taull answered and I casually checked the whole thread from the browser.

Btw, yes I’m referring to the table headings (the content of the table is blurred on purpose for privacy). I noticed that in the screenshot is not really marked the difference between the blurred and non-blurred text as in reality. The funny thing is that if I try to take a picture of the screen, neither form there it is that marked as “from the eyes”. But I assure you it’s really marked the difference. Since I’m from an apple laptop I have a Retina display, maybe that could be part of the problem. And yes, I think the problem is the same cited by Taull. I tried to play a bit with the screen scaling but that’s not resolving anything. Is there any solution or workaround actually? Or any idea to solve the problem definitively?

About the language problem instead, I played a lot with system settings, but nothing helps. I can’t see anything else in dutch except from that date in the bottom of the interface, so it’s really hard to understand where it’s getting that information.

Moreover, I’ve also noticed that the settings about the numbers format are not synced with the system settings. Usually in euros we use the comma to separate decimals, and the dot to group each 10^3 digits. However, in my settings I put the dot for decimals, and the comma for grouping, and indeed in the calculator I use the dot as a decimal separator, but in GnuCash that is not reflected, nor I have any option to change this behaviour. Any idea?

My OS is: macOS Big Sur 11.2.1
My GnuCash version is: 4.4, Build ID: 4.4+(2020-12-28)

Best,
Gabriele

I believe I have the same issue regarding the column headers and had reported it here:

https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2021-February/095301.html

It appears the problem has something to do with gtk, cairo, pango and font rendering. I have this problem on Windows.

Hello everyone,

I hope this is the right place where to discuss this, otherwise please point me to the right resource.

I’ve just installed GnuCash in MacOs, but I see a couple of problems. You can see them on the screenshot attached.

1. The titles of all the account tables are blurred. Is there a reason for that? In linux (Fedora) I can see them neat. Moreover, all the other text in the interface looks fine.

2. At the bottom you can see the date is not in English. I’m currently in Belgium (I suspect this is the problem), but I set everything in the system to be in English. The only thing related to Belgium is the region, but I don’t want to change it because it is where I actually am and therefore I think it’s correct that it remains like that.

I tried to search both on the preferences/settings and online, but I couldn’t find answers to these problems.

Best regards,
Gabriele
