[GNC] Increasing font size on macOS

Hi everyone,

Running GnuCash 5.1 / macOS Ventura 13.4 (latest) / 2020 MacBook Air M1. 

I switched to GTK dark mode and like it quite a lot. However, something about the darker background makes the default text size a bit hard to read.

To increase the font size, I searched the list archives and the latest info I found pointed to the wiki. Create a gtk-3.0.css file under ~/Library/Application Support/GnuCash/config. 
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/GTK3#Via_css

I created Gtk-3.0.css and it now contains the following. But it has no impact on the font size in the interface:
* {
    font: 14pt arial, sans-serif;
  }

I know the GTK version has been updated across majors versions of GnuCash, so tried naming it Gtk-4.0.css in case the docs were outdated. But no effect.

How can I accomplish this?

Thank you,
Colin
