Menu Font Size in Libre Office

Sometimes using KDE Plasma can be annoying when it is interacting with programs that use GTK rather than QT widgets.  One of the major annoyances is the popular program, Libre Office.  When running Libre under KDE, very often the menus and dialogs appear so small that reading them, especially on a high resolution monitor, is nearly impossible.


Fortunately there are solutions.  One of the simplest fixes is to install libreoffice-gtk, which should be in your Linux distro repository.  Just open a terminal and type ant the prompt

sudo apt-get install libreoffice-gtk

When prompted, enter your root password, and hit enter.

If you have LibreOffice open, close it then open it again.

You should see that the menu fonts and dialog are considerably larger now, and much easier to read..
