[GNC] Increase font size in accounts display?

[Axel Essbaum]

This worked! Thank you Chris!

Ken's suggestion to use px and Lucida Grande worked, though "Lucida Grande" also works. LucidaGrande (no space) does not work.

If someone has the power to change the gnucash docs, the webpage below directs Mac users to create GNC_CONFIG_HOME/gtk-3.0.css.

https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/GTK3#Typefaces

On that page, clicking on GNC_CONFIG_HOME takes you to the page below, which says GNC_CONFIG_HOME is HOME/Library/Application Support/GnuCash/config/gtk-3.0

https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations#GNC_CONFIG_HOME

Either Gnucash is wrongly looking in HOME/Library/Application Support/GnuCash for the .css file or the docs are incorrect.

Thanks for the help everyone!

- Axel
