Re: [GNC] Changing default font size in Gnucash 3.2

[Daniel Dickinson]

Thanks all for your replies.  Creating a gtk.css file in ~/Library/Application 
Support/Gnucash/config/gtk-3.0/ did the trick!  Perhaps the wiki should be 
updated to indicate that only the .css option is available on Mac?

It applies "gtk-primary-button-warps-slider = false" just fine. (Thanks, Colin, 
for reminding me about that. I despise the warping.)

[GNC] Changing default font size in Gnucash 3.2

[Daniel Dickinson]

I just upgraded to Gnucash 3.2 (on Mac OS X 10.13.4) and am having trouble 
setting a default font size.  The current font is too small and makes it very 
difficult for me to read the register.


Following the instructions at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/GTK3, I created the 
file ~/Library/Application Support/Gnucash/config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini (this 
file didn't exist previously), with the following contents:

[Settings]
gtk-font-name=Arial 16


Also, from within Gnucash I went to Edit>Style Sheets>Default and changed all 
the fonts to Arial 16.


Neither of these actions had any effect on the font sizes displayed.  How can I 
set a larger default font size in Gnucash 3.2?


Thanks,

Dan Dickinson

Thanks all for your replies.  I do indeed have Xcode and command line tools

I did a little more digging.  Here is the complete output from running sudo 
perl /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnc-fq-update:

Trouble installing Finance::Quote on Mac OSX Yosemite

[Daniel Dickinson]

I installed GnuCash 2.6.17 and it runs fine.  However, I am having trouble with 
Finance::Quote.  Initially FinanceQuote Update wouldn't run, but I got around 
that by allowing apps from unidentified developers.  When I launch it, it opens 
a terminal window and asks for my password.  It tries to install 
Finance::Quote, but gets stuck at the following:


Running make test

PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 "/usr/bin/perl" "-Iblib/arch" "-Iblib/lib" 
"-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-MTest::Harness" "-e" "undef 
*Test::Harness::Switches; test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t

t/00compile.t . ok

t/01perl_bugs.t ... ok

t/02-xsdynamic.t ..


It never completes the 02-xsdynamic.t test, just sits there.  But the process 
at the top of the terminal window changes back and forth periodically between 
"lipo" and "xcrun."  I'd guess it's stuck in some kind of a loop.  I checked 
the console but didn't see any error messages that appeared to be related to 
this.


I also tried installing manually using

perl -MCPAN -e shell
 install Finance::Quote

This completed successfully, but GnuCash doesn't seem to know that 
Finance::Quote is there - when I try to download quotes, it says "There was a 
system error while retrieving the price quotes."  Again there is nothing in the 
console that would give any insight about what's going on.


Thanks for any suggestions.
