Thanks, Adrian.
You're right about the '#' being needed (at least on my system). Once I got the
correct font spec working with the "*" I tried with and without the '#', and
only with the '#' did the font change occur in gnucash.
Cheers,
Terry

Terrence,
You nearly had it right the first time.
You need the "#" in front of the selector:
"#gnc-id-main-window"
The initial post you made left off the '#' sign at the beginning. If it
is not there in your CSS file, that would be why it didn't work. That
symbol indicates a CSS 'id' and without it, a 'named node'. If the node
is not named as such, but does have that id, then your rule without the
symbol will never work.
Also, I'm surprised the wiki doesn't show this, but I'm fairly certain
you have to quote font family names that have spaces in them. It is also
good practice to provide a generic fallback, such as 'serif' or
'sans-serif' etc. This way, if for some reason you didn't name the font
just right, you should still see some sort of change. (assuming the
generic is different than the default.) There is a way to find the
proper name with a font viewer where you can see the font meta data. In
this case, it might just be 'Calibri', though I'm not certain.
Finally, play with other units such as 'px' or 'em'. Some work with GTK
in some contexts and others do not. I haven't found the rhyme or reason
yet. You might also find success with named sizes like 'medium', 'large'
or 'x-large'.
-----
Of note, the wiki explicitly states that the wild-card selector "*" does
*not* work on Windows.
If you still can't get it to work, try the settings.ini method.
Regards,
Adrien
