Command Center issues

[Marty Fix <martyf1 sbcglobal net>]

Hi all,
	Not sure where to start, but here it goes.  I have installed Gnucash  
using Fink and have it currently running fine.  The fonts on the  
application are too small and I want to make them larger.  I was told  
on the Gnucash mailing list that I could use gnome-control-center to  
set the font.  I have figured out how to run the control center but  
have a problem.  When I select the Appearance button in the command  
center window, I get errors such as this in the terminal window

** (gnome-control-center:725): WARNING **:
error raised: [libslab_get_gconf_value: error getting /desktop/gnome/ 
applications/main-menu/lock-down/user_modifiable_apps]


** (gnome-control-center:725): WARNING **:
error raised: [load_xbel_store: couldn't load bookmark file [NULL]
]


** (gnome-control-center:725): WARNING **: get_actions_list() -

** (gnome-control-center:725): WARNING **: get_actions_list() -  
PROBLEM - Can't load gnome-cups-manager.desktop


(gnome-appearance-properties:729): appearance-properties-WARNING **:

(gnome-appearance-properties:729): appearance-properties-WARNING **:  
Unable to monitor directory /sw/share/gnome-background-properties:  
Unable to find default local directory monitor type

It seems to be random chance that the changes I make stick after I  
close the command center.   So

Is this the best way to try to set the fonts in the Gnucash application?

Can I do something to command center to make it more reliable in  
saving my changes?

I am just about in over my head so please try to explain any solutions  
in a step by step process.  Thank you
