change gnucash font

Fedora doesn't provide an easy way to set gtk 1 fonts (or sizes) - so, gnucash can look a little "big" (at least it did on my box).

After much futzing, and a little help from the sample file on this page, http://people.redhat.com/zaitcev/notes/, here's what I ended up doing to make the font smaller.

Created a .gtkrc.mine file in my folder with this contents:

style "user-font" {

#fontset = "-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*"
fontset = "-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-*-100-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*"

}

widget_class "*" style "user-font"

Update: I've switched to a Debian setup for GnuCash.  The font problem showed up again.   The GUI solution was to install "gtk-theme-switch" and run it to change the font for GTK1.x programs.
