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


There are two methods. Here are the links:

http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/MacOSX/MacPortsDetail#Using_MacPorts_to_install_the_native_Quartz_version_of_GnuCash

http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/MacOSX/Quartz

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:

Any ideas?

You will have to restart X11 if it is already active.

All this does is ensure that the X11 display resolution is the same  
as the default system font.

I made the proposed edit, but to no avail. I'm not running GnuCash in 
X11, but natively using Quartz, using the MacPorts installation 
. 
There's gotta be a way to modify the installation -- even if I have to 
add more Gnome components -- to change the font GnuCash uses. I just 
don't have the Unix chops to figure it out.
