Gnucash is a great Open Source accounting software, but the default fonts are quite small (Arial 10pt) there is no easy way to make the fonts bigger.
On top of it there seem to be many esoteric ways to achieve that outcome, which make searching for and finding a proper how-to quite daunting.
This is how I did it on macOS Mojave:
1) Go to the Gnucash.app
2) Right click and Show Package Content
3) Navigate to: Content/Resources/share/doc/gnucash
4) Select and COPY the file "gtk-3.0.css"
5) Navigate to: Mac HD/Users/Your Home Folder/Library/Application Support/GnuCash
6) Copy the file "gtk-3.0.css" into the GnuCash folder
7) Open the file with Text Edit
8) it will look like the below lines of codes. Change the size of fonts (highlighted) to your liking and SAVE.
9) Restart Gnucash
10) You are welcome.
=== Content of "gtk-3.0.css" after opening it with Text Edit ===
/* This is an example GTK CSS file that can be used with Gnucash.
Simply copy this file to the location specified below according
to your platform and then restart gnucash.
- Windows: CSIDL_APPDATA/GnuCash
(or the default is users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash)
- OS X: $HOME/Application Support/GnuCash
- Linux: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gnucash
(or the default is $HOME/.config/gnucash)
These settings are mainly to do with register colors and can be seen
when the preference setting 'Register\Use GnuCash built-in color theme'
is unset.
Note: Widgets obtained from Glade files will not be addressable
directly by name as these are not brought in when loaded, only
the widget type can be configured unless they are named in code.
