As I mentioned earlier, I used exactly those settings to change the fonts,
repeatedly. Different faces, different sizes. So something isn't right on your
machine.
Two quick questions:
1) are you restarting gnucash each time after you save gtk-3.0.css?
2) did Notepad add ".txt" to your file name (making it gtk-3.0.css.txt)?
For the record, many people have changed the fonts in GnuCash, so that's just
your frustration bleeding into the process. A search of the lists will show you
many discussions in the past, as well as numerous resources on the wiki,
indicating user interest in the topic.

Followed to the letter but no change.
Desktop which is a new build and new GNUCash install does have this path above,
results should match your own.
Created a text file gtk-3.0.css in C:\Users\david\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash\
The text file only contains the below
* {
font-size: 24px;
font-family: "Arial", sans-serif;
}
Has no one else asked to change the font before ?
Cheers all

David,
Until you create gtk-3.0.css, it's not going to exist.
Use Notepad, copy and paste what I sent (maybe use "24px" as a test), and Save
it as:
C:\Users\david\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash\gtk-3.0.css
Then start gnucash and see if things are changed.

Thanks D, searched C: drive but no gtk-3.0.css file found.
With Windows 10 changing the overall size of everything is easy, can be done in
small increments too only problem is all items are made larger - Chrome is
already bordering on too big at the moment.
Nabble
Yes, sorry the title is a bit misleading as originally asking where the Nabble
mailing list forum (not a forum) thingy had moved to, thought support may have
stopped.
David H, can I respond to you also, the wiki page is my reference point too, if
you can highlight what needs to be typed i.e correct syntax as per D response
that would be great.
Cheers

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.

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

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.

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. Note the base directories on Windows and macOS
for this differ from the base directories for
GNC_DATA_HOME<https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations#GNC_DATA_HOME>.
Linux
USER_DATA_HOME<https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations#USER_DATA_HOME>/gtk-3.0
Windows
%LOCALAPPDATA%<https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations#Environment_variables_LOCALAPPDATA_and_APPDATA>\gtk-3.0
macOS
HOME<https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations#HOME>/.local/share/gtk-3.0

Currently in this folder C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\etc\gtk-3.0 on Windows

editing this file settings.ini
Before
[Settings]
gtk-xft-antialias=1
gtk-xft-hinting=1
gtk-xft-hintstyle=hintfull
gtk-xft-rgba=rgb
After
[Settings]
gtk-font-name=Arial 18

Is this the right folder location and entry (18 font not needed, just making it
super obvious for any changes)
Thanks, David

Hello all,
No idea if this will reach anyone but wanted to ask a question please.
Just switched back to using Windows (long story) but noticed the font is
smaller than on Mint using the same screen.
Followed most of the GTK 3.0 instructions on Wiki including editing
settings.ini file as per their help file, unfortunately no change at all.
Do I need to run GTK inspector to edit or can this be done in notepad (as I
have done?)
Thanks,
David
