Apparently GnuCash has no built-in way of increasing font size (I have absolutely no idea why). Googling suggests I should be able to increase system-wide gtk app font size with gnome-control-center, but on Linux Mint, there is no "appearance" or font size section to g-c-c. I tried fiddling with Menu->Applications->Preference->Appearance->Fonts but that did not change GnuCash's font size. I'm on Mint 13 with gnucash 2.4.10.

Gnucash itself does not have a language setting, the properties behind the desktop icon does not allow me to enter the language settings on launching gnucash, the dconf editor does not have a language setting for gnucash.

(I got confused about the renaming of the file, because a different file browser (i.e. not Nautilus, no idea what this other one is called) comes up sometimes when searching for files and there the real file name is displayed. Very confusing)

Just install it and you should be able to choose it at the login screen. You can have several desktops installed side-by-side without problems.
Probably the easiest way to install it is via YaST->Software Management, View->Patterns.

Maybe you made some other mistake while editing the file?
You have to replace the existing Exec line. And make sure you save with Unix file endings.
Maybe the file permissions are wrong after you edit the file as root? The user has to be able to read the file.

I just checked, and I have glib2 and glib2-devel both installed but the file you show glib2.0.pc does not exist on my system. dnf provides */glib2.0.pc also does not return a value so it seems that file is not part of an installed (or available) package.

I have not downloaded the source for gnucash nor tried compiling it so cannot visualize where the error is occurring. Maybe if you posted a large enough part of the make output that shows the error and some preceding data it may help us to assist.

(again, this is digressing from the original question of compiling gnucash and dealing with the glib-2.0 error, and not the cleanest way to use python libraries, but good enough for my current needs).

Please read Writing an effective Apple Support Communities question. We are here to help. We are all users. We are not mind-readers nor clairvoyants. We only know what you write down and tell us. Be specific and thorough. Include your hardware information and installed version of macOS.

I support kapps comments above. This is just a guess, but is your non functioning app a 32 bit program? If it is, then it will not work with Catalina. I suggest you go to the app's web site and check under support to see if an upgrade download is available. If so, that might solve your problem.

The problem was that years ago when I first ran gnucash it apparently put the data in a file called /opt. gnucash chose this; as far as I remember, I didn't. This was a hidden file. I never saw it until someone suggested I click Shift + Command + period and the hidden files showed up in a lighter color. Catalina picked up this file and apparently put it in with the unwritable Macintosh Hard Drive file where system files are protected from accidental damage, rather than the Macintosh Hard Drive - Data file. The preferences were

My son managed to copy the data files (I don't know how he did this), for which I had read/write privileges, out of the /opt file and put them in a file on the Macintosh Hard Drive - Data. When I brought up gnucash again, I clicked 'open' and picked the latest data file. All worked fine thereafter.

I would like to use Gnucash similar to the linuxserverIO Calibre container, with all of the cool optional features installed and enabled (eg, Finance::Quote and AqBanking). I mostly want this so I can deploy gnucash as a web app on my TrueNAS Scale server and do my accounting from anywhere. Surely others out there will appreciate this too.
