[GNC] balance sheet - eguile version: cannot change fonts

[John Ralls]

OK, that's the fontconfig bug. Upgrading to 4.4 will fix it. For a workaround, edit /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/etc/fonts/fonts.conf:
 <!-- Font directory list -->

-	<dir>/Library/Fonts</dir>
-
+	<dir>/System/Library/Fonts/Supplemental</dir>
+	<dir>/System/Library/Fonts</dir> <dir>/Library/Fonts</dir>
 	<dir prefix="xdg">fonts</dir>
 	<!-- the following element will be removed in the future -->
 	<dir>~/.fonts</dir>


You can use TextEdit or any other editor that can write plain text. Don't use a word processor like LibreOffice Write.

John Ralls

Changing the font family in the options dialog didn't help - I was not able to change the rendering. No matter which value I enter for the font family it doesn't change. Changing the font size works pretty well.
