I find that the menu fonts in GIMP are very small and difficult for me to easily see. I can enlarge the icons but have not found a way to enlarge the menu font. Is there a way to increase the menu font size in Mac Catalina?

I’ve installed the Flatpak version on Ubuntu and that seems to use different approach (themes and CSS) to handle this, but I couldn’t figure out, where it is… Could anyone give a hint?
I’ve already stumbled upon the whole themes directory and searched all the stylesheets for a menu font size, but nothing relevant was found!
There is a plugin to make menu adjustments. Download, unzip, put in your plugins folder, make it executable. see:menus and dropdowns too small - Page 1 • GIMP Chat
This works in a regular 'buntu Gimp 2.10 installation, it should work with a flatpak.
All it does is write a small file gtkrc to the Gimp user profile, which for a flatpak is
~/.var/app/org.gimp.GIMP/config/GIMP/2.10 although if there was a previous Gimp installation ~/.config/GIMP/2.10 the flatpak can use that as well.
If you do not want to use the plugin the gtkrc file is this.
gtk-theme-name = “Default”
style “user-font”
{
font_name=“Sans 14”
}
widget_class “*” style “user-font”
gtk-icon-sizes = “gtk-menu=30,30”
Copy that to a file named gtkrc and put in your user profile.
