Character size in menus (text size) - Punchcard - 08-13-2018

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
GIMP 2.10.4

Is there a way to change character sizes in the UI's menus and dialog boxes?

You would need to edit the gtkrc file for the theme:

Code:
style "gimp-dark-default-style"
{
  # font_name = "Sans 11"

To change the font - uncomment the line by removing the # and change the number to a suitable size.

What I see there is a slider to change icon sizes, but nothing for text labels.

Got it!

A bit geeky, but it works.
Maybe the generous GIMP developers will someday lift such usability tweaks out of the depths.
Edit->Preferences->Theme shows where the gtkrc file is.

Thanks very much
