    The help in gnucash shows in a small, crummy font. It's basically
    unreadable. Nothing I do seems to change it. It looks OK in yelp.
    I ordinarily run KDE on a testing system (though I tried Gnome too).

    Judging by the dependencies, gnucash is a gtk 1.2 application. I
    assume yelp is good because it is a Gnome 2 (gtk 2?) app.

    After reading the newsgroups, here's what I've tried:
    1. In KDE, disable the setting (under color!) for controls appearance
    of non-KDE apps.
    2. Tried Gnome 2.
    3. Created .gtkrc.mine in my home directory with
    # Create by RB for gtk 1.2 in effort to make gnucash help look decent
    style "user-font"
    {
      font="-*-times-medium-r-*-*-17-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
    }
    This file is included by .gtkrc-1.2-gnome2
    4. Created .gtkrc-1.2, same as above. (Nothing suggested this, but I
    thought .gtkrc-1.2-gnome2 might only apply under gnome 2).
    5. Added to .gtkrc-2.0
    gtk-font-name = "Sans 12"
    6. Tried
    $ gnome-settings-daemon
    You can only run one xsettings manager at a time; exiting

    I did not log out before each attempt, though after doing these I did
    start a Gnome session in a second virtual terminal.

    Any other ideas?

    P.S. The previous operations did change my emacs fonts!
