Applications that use gtkhtml wont let you set a default font size

Applications that use gtkhtml wont let you set a default font size, such applications like gnucash etc, what happens when you goto use the print-report function of these apps and you are forced to print in 10 point html?

gtkhtml-properties.c:#define DEFAULT_FONT_SIZE 10
gtkhtml-properties.c:#define DEFAULT_FONT_SIZE_PRINT 10

there is no way to change this without recompiling the code, however it does not compile under debian because of a broken build script that does not detect some utility called GAIL

Further more, gnome's "control center" font config does not have any effect on fonts generated by gtkhtml

Instead I suggest that you move onto what looks like an excellent replace to gnucash kmymoney2 which is available in current debian-testing and sarge, kmymoney2 sounds better already because it comes from a more robust development environment that is not based on a fragmented poor excuse for a UI library

from the #gnucash irc

from the #gnucash irc channel on irc.gimp.org

dgtlmoon: please also note that the page you linked above is not completely correct... the problem is more involved than changing a simple #define, of course... btw, i have no clue what gnucash has to do with gail, but well

Wow this is interesting,

Wow this is interesting, This site is getting roughly 15-30 hits a day for issues todo with gnucash printing problems! there must be a lot of people out there with the same issue this post suggests that some of these silly defaults are _compiled in_ when you receive your distribution so there may not be a clean way to adjust the gnucash print default font size!
