Ok, so apparently the fact that gnucash 2.2.4 prints giant fonts for invoices and other reports is a known bug:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=350408 I started to fink install gnucash2.2.9, but it didn't work, and I started to do some research as I was waiting that led me to believe it was futile anyway. Evidently the issue is that it's not even a bug in gnucash, but rather in libgtkhtml3.8, and the folks who maintain libgtkhtml are not interested in fixing it in 3.8 (which is what gnucash still uses) because they've fixed it in later releases (4). This is all according to the person who created this patch: http://members.iinet.net.au/~paulone/gnucash/ And the friendly people at the #gnucash irc channel said that this will not be fixed until gnucash 4, released in a few months, and I can only imagine then how long it will be until it's fink-ready. So I registered at the above site and got through to the download.html page, and on that page he has the table pasted at the end of this email (sorry for the html; please let me know if you need some sort of text interpretation). My question is this: Is there any feasible way that a non-developer like me could hope to apply this patch in my fink installation somewhere and, I assume, recompile libgtkhtml3.8 and gnucash2.2.4? If so, can anyone here supply some step-by-step instructions?
