My experience is not very different from Rich's. Printing from Chromium works one way, from Firefox, another way, and I so rarely print directly from GnuCash that I do not remember. This is in Ubuntu 18.04. David Carlson On Wed, Sep 4, 2019 at 3:44 PM Rich Shepard wrote: > On Wed, 4 Sep

OK. Unfortunately I have not tried messing with font size in GnuCash on Win 10. If GnuCash fonts are not roughly the same size as the rest of your workspace, I think there is something in the gnucash folder in the start menu to fiddle with. Otherwise the display font size should be adjusted.

So the question remains, have you tried opening those exports yourself and with what software? What software is your accountant using? (QuickBooks? since you mentioned .qif) Did they try opening in a spreadsheet app? Now, if I understand correctly, you are currently sending the HTML or PDF

If you mean in Preferences > Accounting Period, I agree. I’m surprised this hasn’t been fixed to ‘relative years’ yet. Certainly, filing a RFE (Request for Enhancement) in Bugzilla would be in order. I would think a user would expect a much more sane option to select the day/month and let the

Adrien, one thing that would help in Australia is in the setup to be able to set the year start as 1 July, & end as 30 June. Currently the only options are the beginning of the year, monthly, quarterly, or absolute. I usually use absolute, resetting each year. regards, Doug On Wed, 4 Sep
