[GNC] Changing fonts

[Phyllis Bruce]

 Good morning, Richard.  In the subject (Font size) Ken Pyzik gave me this:
 1. If you don't have one already, you want to make a small text file
called: gtk-3.0.css

2. In this file, you just need one line of text:     * {font: 14px
verdana, arial, sans-serif;}   (format it just like I have it and
notice, I am using 14 font and I am using verdana as the main one
because that is what I like.  Use whatever size and font you want to
replace the 14px verdana).
3. Save this file with the one line of text in the following folder  -
 c:\users\xxxxx\Appdata\Roaming\Gnucash  (where xxxxx is your user
profile).  If this does not make sense to you - open GnuCash and hit
HELP — ABOUT.  *The folder listed next to GNC_USERCONFIG_DIR is where
the file needs to be.  Po edit follows: - the easiest way to do this
in help/about where you see live links of files, including the
GNC_USERCONFIG_DIR*.  *Click on that link and paste your file.  *

Close out of Gnucash, if you have it open, and then re-open it and the
new font should take hold.

That is a one-line file that does not adjust column widths, etc.


Or try this:  Good hunting!  po

Check out the sample css file at
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/blob/stable/doc/gtk-3.0.css - that
should give you an idea.

Cheers David H.
