Terrence,
You nearly had it right the first time.
You need the "#" in front of the selector:
"#gnc-id-main-window"
The initial post you made left off the '#' sign at the beginning. If it
is not there in your CSS file, that would be why it didn't work. That
symbol indicates a CSS 'id' and without it, a 'named node'. If the node
is not named as such, but does have that id, then your rule without the
symbol will never work.
Also, I'm surprised the wiki doesn't show this, but I'm fairly certain
you have to quote font family names that have spaces in them. It is also
good practice to provide a generic fallback, such as 'serif' or
'sans-serif' etc. This way, if for some reason you didn't name the font
just right, you should still see some sort of change. (assuming the
generic is different than the default.) There is a way to find the
proper name with a font viewer where you can see the font meta data. In
this case, it might just be 'Calibri', though I'm not certain.
Finally, play with other units such as 'px' or 'em'. Some work with GTK
in some contexts and others do not. I haven't found the rhyme or reason
yet. You might also find success with named sizes like 'medium', 'large'
or 'x-large'.
-----
Of note, the wiki explicitly states that the wild-card selector "*" does
*not* work on Windows.
If you still can't get it to work, try the settings.ini method.
Regards,
Adrien

Yeah, had precisely what you had in your screenshot.
Here is what is now in my gtk-3.0.css file:
/* Application wide font setting */
* {
font: 18px Microsoft Consolas;
}
No visible result, I'm afraid.
Cheers,
Terry

It would be the "Roaming" folder. There is probably a syntax error. Just
copy/paste the whole thing, save, and restart GnuCash.

Thanks for the suggestion, Glenn.
I tried this in both the "Roaming" and the "Local" versions of the gtk-3.0.css
file; but, neither had any effect on the typeface I see.
Also, I did see you used "24px" whereas I had "24pt" originally, so I went with
your suggestion.

This should work:
/* Application wide font setting */
* {
font : 24px Microsoft Calibri;
}

Hello all,
I've been a user for all of 2 weeks, so I apologize to everyone if this
question/subject has been beaten to death in the past. My research online has
not resulted in a fix, though, so I'd like to ask: has anyone running gnucash
4.12 or 4.13 on Windows 10 managed to change font families using CSS ? The
documentation I've found on the subject suggests Windows users can change
typefaces using CSS by editing the file GNC_CONFIG_HOME/gtk-3.0.css by adding a
section like this :
/* Application wide font setting */
gnc-id-main-window {
font-family: Microsoft Calibri;
font-size: 24pt;
}
Following these directions I edited the file gtk-3.0.css in the folder
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash with the setting shown above; but,
upon restarting gnucash I see absolutely no font change whatsoever. For grins, I
copied this file to the AppData\Local\GnuCash directory as well, and again restarted
gnucash. Sadly, same non-result.
