Public bug reported:
Just upgraded to Ubuntu 15.10
The individual menu bar menu options are very small. I am not talking
about the menu bar title or the menu names e.g. "File" "Edit" etc., I'm
talking about the individual options within each menu. I expect the
text of the menu items to be the same as other UI text, e.g. the Ubuntu
Default font.
Also, I would expect the size of the menu options text to change with
the setting System Settings > Universal Access > Large Text but it does
not.
See attached image for two screen shots, one with Large Text disabled
and one with it enabled. The text "Contents", "Universal Access", and
"Quit" is the text that I expect to be bigger, and that I expect to get
larger when enabling the Large Text setting.
Further, the size of the menu item text is not affected by any of the
font settings exposed by the app "ubuntu-tweak" which lets you change
the default font, etc.
This problem exists whether the menu bar is pinned to the top of the
screen, or to the title bar of the individual application windows.
I think this is a bug in xorg, but I am not sure.
