How do you build the Quartz version?
I see no Quartz variant.

There are two methods. Here are the links:

I first tried the second of these, without MacPorts, but I couldn't get it to work -- got stuck in the libgnomeprint installation. So I deleted that failed installation and tried a fresh install of MacPorts and the first of the above links, and it works: no X11. With a little help from David T., I wrote a one-line Applescript app to be able to launch GnuCash directly from the Dock:

do shell script "source /sw/bin/init.sh ; /opt/local/bin/gnucash >& /dev/null & ; echo"

I haven't tested this native GnuCash yet; I've been trying to tweak the installation, including the default font:

I can't figure out how to change the default font for the program. When I used to run GnuCash under X11 (Fink package GnuCash2), I had -- and still have -- a file in my home directory named .gtkrc-2.0 which contains a single line: gtk-font-name = "Luxi Mono 16" -- and that used to cause GnuCash to use that font in all its windows.

But not anymore! Apparently native Quartz GnuCash installed via MacPorts isn't consulting ~/gtkrc-2.0, or is somehow overriding it? Anything I can do to get my big beautiful font back?

Any ideas?
