SUMMARY
I am using digikam the first time on Windows 10. But the size of fonts for text and menus is extremely tiny. It's hard to read them. I need extra glasses.
Your FAQ means: 
How can I change the text font size? Size of fonts for text and menus is too big/too small in digiKam. How can I adjust it ?

FAQ recommends: "Start Plasma system settings then go to Appearance/Fonts. Here you can adjust the font size but also choose another font."
===> How can I adapt font and font-size on an Windows 10 System? (There is no "Plasma system").
I tried other several settings in Windows, but they won't affect fonts for text and menus in digikam.
Under "Themes" I can only change the colors but neither the fonts nor the font-size.

In Setup there are many place to customize fonts in GUI:

Font used everywhere in application :

Specific font for icon-view:

Specific font for tree-view:
