How can I change the font size in GnuCash on OS X?

Question

How can I change the font size in GnuCash on OS X? I wasn't able to find anything in the preferences.

I tried using 'gconftool-2' on '~/.gconf' where GnuCash stores its GTK settings, but I wasn't able to get it to read the settings directory.

Thanks for the edit. I wasn't all there when I was posting. – harish Sep 07 '11 at 22:05 — harish, Sep 07 '11 at 22:05

For GnuCash 3.x, you need to create a gtk.css in the directory ~/Library/Application\ Support/Gnucash/config/gtk-3.0 with the following contents:

* {
    font: 14pt arial, sans-serif;
}

or whatever CSS settings you may prefer.

You can increase the font size by creating a ~/.gtkrc-2.0.gnucash-file with the following contents:

style "font"
{
  font_name = "Arial Narrow 12"
}
widget_class "*" style "font"
gtk-font-name = "Arial Narrow 12"
