David C.,

She's rooting around in hidden system folders because that's where GnuCash stores the application font settings. 

Phyllis, I agree with you that this is not particularly user friendly. Unfortunately, I cannot see your computer to guide you. Suffice to say that if your computer is actually working, you have a C: drive. That's where Windows operates from. 

Are you unable to open the Appdata folder by typing %APPDATA% in the address bar of Windows Explorer? That method has always worked for me. %APPDATA% should open c:\Users\YOURACCT\AppData, where YOURACCT is your Windows login name.
