[GNC] Changing Global Font to Aptos Narrow

[John Ralls]

Gilberto,

Nope, every variation is its own file, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/font-list/aptos. GnuCash can’t use Aptos narrow because you don’t have it.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/cloud-fonts-in-office-f7b009fe-037f-45ed-a556-b5fe6ede6adb may explain why you’re able to use it in Microsoft applications without actually installing it on your computer, and of course Microsoft Office 365 is software-as-a-service that runs on Microsoft’s servers.

Regards,
John Ralls
