Dmitry, Double check that every security is using Yahoo JSON. It is easy to overlook one stock, and the whole thing breaks. It is possible in the security editor list to add a column showing the price source, so that it is easy to see all your sources at once. David T. On October 22, 2018, at

The wiki instructions look good. (and simple) As for the account tabs, it seems GtkNotebook follows an alternating pattern of contents,tab,contents,tab etc. So the first ‘contents’ is the GncAccountPage and is followed by its tab. Both of these (as well as GncRegisterPage(s) and their tabs) are

I tried Big Caslon to see if I could get it to work. No dice. Very strange. I see too that Family Name is more consistent when I tried various fonts - good find. I tried specifying a font-variant rule and though it is listed in the CSS Properties list, I can’t seem to change it from ’normal’. A
