[GNC] Ways to make the journal more legible

[Ken Pyzik]

I could be wrong - but what I think Roger is asking for is to increase 
the font size in GnuCash.  This has been asked and answered many many 
times here on the list.  It is also listed in the GnuCash documentation.

Here is what you need to do.  You need to edit the CSS file and change 
to the font and size you want.   In Windows, the file is located:

Users\(yourusername)\appdata\Roaming\GnuCash folder. The file name is 
gtk-3.0.css.  Edit the file using a text editor.  The contents should 
look like this (as an example -- this is what I use):

* {font: 14px verdana, arial, sans-serif;}

If you want it larger it would be 16px or larger.  Smaller of course 
would be 12px or smaller.  I like the verdana font and I like 14 point-- 
you can chose whatever font you like.  Make sure to place the * at the 
front and enclose everything in { }.  That's it.

Ken
