Guess I didn’t make it clear. I have changed the font size.
I started working with computers in 1982 before hard drives were a
thing but technology has outpaced my aging ability to keep up. I do
know that c: is where windows is stored. In the earlier versions of
file structures c: was at the top, with directories and files within
them; additional drives were detailed closer to the bottom. For
several versions of windows I have not seen that.
I got to the config file by clicking on the link in help/about in GNU.
Copied the gtk file to that folder and voila.

David C.,
She's rooting around in hidden system folders because that's where
GnuCash stores the application font settings.
Phyllis, I agree with you that this is not particularly user friendly.
Unfortunately, I cannot see your computer to guide you. Suffice to say
that if your computer is actually working, you have a C: drive. That's
where Windows operates from.
Are you unable to open the Appdata folder by typing %APPDATA% in the
address bar of Windows Explorer? That method has always worked for me.
%APPDATA% should open c:\Users\YOURACCT\AppData, where YOURACCT is your
Windows login name.

Phyllis,
I came into this thread in the middle so I don't know why you are
looking for your c:\ drive, but it usually means that you want to find
some 'under the hood' information, since you should not be putting any
of your user data files there. Those files belong in one of your
'user' folders.
That said, on the Windows 10 computer screen in front of me the c:\
drive is named "OS (C:)" and it is under a folder called "This PC" .
It is a relief that the ubiquitous and seriously misleading word 'My'
is completely missing!

Thanks, David T.
I found the container named My Computer. Nowhere in it do I have
access to
c: To make matters worse, it points to a folder in Dropbox. I
think I
need a new guru. This is seriously messed up.
