I've used Linux Mint for so long I forget to mention it sometimes. I have been unable to change the font size even though I messed with it for over an hour. I'm going to go ahead and start GnuCash as of the first of the year, but there is a 75% chance I won't continue with it due to the font problem. Nobody wants to climb up on the desk to read a monitor.
