It seems from https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/GTK3 that you can use settings.ini for ALL GTK apps installed or the gtk-3.0.css to affectGnuCash only... Settings.ini seems to use the gtk-font-xxxx=yyyy format.
Cheers David H. Typefaces There are two ways of setting a default font and size for GnuCash. The first sets an option in GTK's settings.ini for *all GTK applications* (GIMP etc.),the other uses css to accomplish the same for *GnuCash only*. - If neither you nor a program changed the default values before, the files mentioned in this section will *not exist*. In this case just create them as *pure text files* and with normal file access rights. The examples below with both set the *default font* to Arial and *font size* to 14. Via settings.ini Create if necessary and add the following line to GTK_CONFIG_HOME <https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations#GTK_CONFIG_HOME> /settings.ini: [Settings]gtk-font-name=Arial 14 General notes - In settings.ini, lines beginning with a # and blank lines are considered comments. - If the file exists and has a [Settings] line just add the font line beneath it. - Setting font family via settings.ini doesn't work on macOS and Microsoft Windows. Use CSS to set font family on those operating systems. Via css Create if necessary and add the following to GNC_CONFIG_HOME <https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations#GNC_CONFIG_HOME> /gtk-3.0.css: * { font: 14pt arial, sans-serif;} On Sun, 16 Jan 2022 at 12:55, D. <sunfis...@yahoo.com> wrote: > So, > > My gtk-3.0.css is in > > C:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash > > And the designator that changes fonts looks like this: > > * { > font-size: 16px; > font-family: "Arial", sans-serif; > } > > You'd be better off following that, rather than copying from another app. > > David T. > ------------------------------ > *From:* David JamesTK > *Sent:* Sat Jan 15 20:12:23 EST 2022 > *To:* David H > *Cc:* GnuCash users group > *Subject:* Re: [GNC] access to Gnucash Nabble > > Copied the config file containing this > > [Settings] > gtk-font-name=Arial 18 > gtk-xft-antialias=1 > gtk-xft-hinting=1 > gtk-xft-hintstyle=hintfull > gtk-xft-rgba=rgb > > Into empty file location C:\Users\david\AppData\Local\gtk-3. > > No change, this happened with Thunderbird too, option there was edit css file > something mentioned on wiki also. > > Cheers > > ------------------------------ > > From: David H <hell...@gmail.com> > Sent: 16 January 2022 00:50 > To: David JamesTK <davidjame...@hotmail.co.uk> > Cc: Glenn Fowler <gfowl...@outlook.com>; GnuCash users group > <gnucash-user@gnucash.org> > Subject: Re: [GNC] access to Gnucash Nabble > > > It’s my understanding the file is optional so won’t appear in all locations? > Have you tried copying your file into the app data location which is > currently empty by the look of things? > > Cheers David H. > > On Sun, 16 Jan 2022 at 10:35 am, David JamesTK > <davidjame...@hotmail.co.uk<mailto:davidjame...@hotmail.co.uk>> wrote: > Cheers David, tried the local folder first but appears empty (hide system > files option off) > > C:\Users\david\AppData\Local\gtk-3.0 (empty) > > Searching C drive for gtk-3.0 returns four entries below with my comments in > blue; > > C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\etc\gtk-3.0 (currently in this folder) > > C:\Users\david\AppData\Local\gtk-3.0 (empty) > > C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\share\themes\Default\gtk-3.0 (contains css > file gtk-keys) > > C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\share\themes\Emacs\gtk-3.0 (contains css file > gtk-keys) > > ------------------------------ > > From: David H <hell...@gmail.com<mailto:hell...@gmail.com>> > Sent: 16 January 2022 00:09 > To: David JamesTK > <davidjame...@hotmail.co.uk<mailto:davidjame...@hotmail.co.uk>> > Cc: Glenn Fowler <gfowl...@outlook.com<mailto:gfowl...@outlook.com>>; GnuCash > users group <gnucash-user@gnucash.org<mailto:gnucash-user@gnucash.org>> > Subject: Re: [GNC] access to Gnucash Nabble > > Probably not, depends what you set GNC_DATA_HOME to I guess - check that > wiki again - > https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations#GTK_CONFIG_HOME > > Cheers David H. > GTK_DATA_HOME > > Versions: 3.x and more recent only > > GnuCash uses GTK for its graphical user interface; thus, locations that are > used by GTK are also relevant.
