Apologies if this seems to be getting a little off topic. Yesterday when I was experimenting, I found no mess. It just worked.
Started by cutting and pasting the three lines * { ... } from the email into a blank notepad file. Saved it with the appropriate name in the appropriate place. Opened GnuCash, it worked. Closed GnuCash, opened Notepad again, deleted the line breaks to make it just one line, resaved it, it still worked. Closed GnuCash, opened Notepad again, hit return at the appropriate spots to recreate the three-line file, saved it, it still worked. Tried various capitalized and lower-case font names, and "px" and "pt" and various numbers for the font size. It always worked. I settled on 10pt Verdana. Others may end up elsewhere. GnuCash 3.5 Windows Pro 10 v 1803 No complaints at all from me. Thanks for making this easy. Tim Timothy B.
