[GNC] Changing fonts

[Richard Gaede]

    Hi,

Thanks for your comments, however they do not resolve my problem. My 
belief is that there used to be a gtk file as part of the standard 
config, but the contents of that file are now part of the overall coding 
of GNU cash. I can find the directory where I believe the gtk file 
should reside, but I don't have such a file, and do not have the coding 
skills or knowledge to create one. I have seen the online advice how to 
edit gtk, and can manage that, but not without the file to start with.
I also do not understand the relationship between a gtk file and the 
inbuilt coding vis a vis fonts, and how it will work. That will be an 
act of faith.
I am in the classic situation like when your Internet connection goes 
down, and the support person tells you where on the internet to go for 
the fix.🙂
