[GNC] Changing typeface using CSS (Windows 10)

[TERRENCE BRANSCOMBE]

Hi, Glenn. 

Progress! 

Thanks for your question regarding the contents of my gtk-3.0.css file. As it happens, I was using a sample file I pulled from (the Wiki?) that contained several lines like this: 

.gnc-class-user-xxxxx { property: value } 
.gnc-class-user-yyyyy { property: value } 
... 

>From what I could tell, none of the property: value pairs worked on my system. 

However, once I removed them, leaving the file with just the one setting, gnucash reflected the new font setting! Here's what worked (for me): 

* { 
font: 18pt "Microsoft Consolas"; 
} 

Thank you for the tip!

Is there anything else in your gtk-3.0.css file? Also, mouse over it and make sure it says "Type: CSS file"

Yeah, had precisely what you had in your screenshot. 

Here is what is now in my gtk-3.0.css file: 

/* Application wide font setting */ 
* { 
font: 18px Microsoft Consolas; 
} 

No visible result, I'm afraid. 

Cheers, 
Terry

It would be the "Roaming" folder. There is probably a syntax error. Just copy/paste the whole thing, save, and restart GnuCash.

Thanks for the suggestion, Glenn. 

I tried this in both the "Roaming" and the "Local" versions of the gtk-3.0.css file; but, neither had any effect on the typeface I see. 

Also, I did see you used "24px" whereas I had "24pt" originally, so I went with your suggestion.

This should work: 

/* Application wide font setting */ 

* { 
font : 24px Microsoft Calibri; 
}

Hello all, 

I've been a user for all of 2 weeks, so I apologize to everyone if this question/subject has been beaten to death in the past. My research online has not resulted in a fix, though, so I'd like to ask: has anyone running gnucash 4.12 or 4.13 on Windows 10 managed to change font families using CSS ? The documentation I've found on the subject suggests Windows users can change typefaces using CSS by editing the file GNC_CONFIG_HOME/gtk-3.0.css by adding a section like this : 

/* Application wide font setting */ 
gnc-id-main-window { 
font-family: Microsoft Calibri; 
font-size: 24pt; 
} 

Following these directions I edited the file gtk-3.0.css in the folder C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash with the setting shown above; but, upon restarting gnucash I see absolutely no font change whatsoever. For grins, I copied this file to the AppData\Local\GnuCash directory as well, and again restarted gnucash. Sadly, same non-result. 

Any hints greatly appreciated, 

Terry
