This was a question I had many times - and thanks to the great group here - I was able to get this fixed.The wiki below explains how to make these adjustments, the proper file name, and the proper file location for each operating system.https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Customizing_the_AppearanceIf this does not help you ? or if you need more detailed instructions, write back with your OS and version of GnuCash - and someone here will walk you through it.Hope this helps.Ken________________________________From: gnucash-user <gnucash-user-bounces+pyz01=outlook.com at gnucash.org> on behalf of Phyllis Bruce <pobruce46 at gmail.com>Sent: Thursday, October 17, 2024 2:31 PMTo: gnucash-user at gnucash.org <gnucash-user at gnucash.org>Subject: [GNC] Font sizeIs there any way I can change the font size used by the registers?

I have mine on my home NAS, so that all computers and OSs can accessit. The file name is "something".gnucash, and this should absolutely be afile that you backup. To move your file to a new location, copy it to thenew location, open GnuCash and manually open the new location (File->Open).This will probably be the default, but when it opens correctly, I woulddelete the file from the old location just to force it to use the newlocation.I am not going to recommend backup programs - there are a multitude forWindows, and you can do your own Google search.Once you have the data file backed up securely, the other things areprobably good to have - these include your preference settings and savedreports.The guide (https://gnucash.org/viewdoc.phtml?rev=5&lang=C&doc=guide)explains the type of files in section 2.5.  Section 2.6.2 talks aboutpreferences and saved reports, and shows where there are stored in Windows.Please let me (us) know if this is confusing, and I can tell you where mineare on Windows - I'm writing this on a Mac. The saved reports are in a.gnucash folder that is either in Users/<your_user_name> or in "MyDocuments".On Thu, Oct 17, 2024 at 2:32?PM Dan a1TNC <Dan at a1tnc.com> wrote:> I'm wanting to use GNC in a Windows land where there are different OSs.> Some are 10 and some 11 etc.   I ,like Heidi, did not find the backup info> in the manual to be very helpful cuz I'm not a coder, and it seems to be> written by someone who understands all OSs and is a one size fits all for> all OSs.>> I have come up with test system to figure out a dependable backup system> and I want to share that here to see if anyone can tell me if there is a> flaw in my idea.>> I have installed GNU on two different computers on/in my land and have> started entering my accounts and info in my primary computer.
