I'm running a number of non-KDE applications, like Iceweasel en Pan, in windows for which the menu font size is too small for my taste. I haven't found a way yet to increase these font sizes.
Note that I'm not talking about font sizes in window contents; and neither about the font size in a window title bar. Adjusting those is easy enough. All I want is to also change the font sizes in the menu bars. KDE applications, like Konqueror or Kaffeine, don't have this problem...

Menu font size too small in Iceweasel, Pan, etc...
Re: Menu font size too small in Iceweasel, Pan, etc...
Easy way:
Then go to KDE Control Center->"Appearance & Themes"->"GTK Styles and Fonts", and change font size.
Code: Select all
apt-get install gtk2-engines-gtk-qt

Whoa there... what fonts is he/are you talking about? My original question referred to the font sizes in the *menu bars* of non-KDE applications (like IceWeasel) under KDE, not those in the *bodies* of them. For example, I could easily enlarge the font of displayed material in IceWeasel, while the menu bars continued to have a tiny (8pt) font. Installation of gtk2-engines-gtk-qt, as indicated by Sashko, made it possible to also get a matching font size in the menu bars.

I have gtk2-engines-gtk-qt installed, and while it (and its control panel) works for every other GTK application I have, only Iceweasel is being stubborn and not respecting the font settings in the GTK-QT control panel. It's companion Icedove works perfectly fine... but Iceweasel itself is ugly as sin at this point haha
I don't know about your other applications, however for iceweasel (and other mozilla based browser) the fonts is most likely to be controlled first by files in your /home/user/.mozilla directory. You could try change the setting in the userChrome-example.css.
