I think this is supposed to be up to the window manager. On KDE Plasma there are separate settings for Qt and GTK applications.
Comment 2 Halla Rempt 2019-06-08 13:31:39 UTC
Are you using the appimage or distribution packages? 

Krita takes the size for the text for the menu and dialog boxes from the environment, or rather, Qt does. We don't set that ourselves, but leave that to the system. If I change the size using KDE Plasma's settings manager, Krita changes, too. I don't have Gnome, so I cannot test with that.
Comment 3 Halla Rempt 2019-06-08 13:37:54 UTC
If changing the font settings in Gnome doesn't work, you could try to create or edit a text file in the .config directory called kdeglobals. Add the following section:


[General]
fixed=Hack,12,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0,Regular
font=Noto Sans,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
menuFont=Noto Sans,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
smallestReadableFont=Noto Sans,8,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
toolBarFont=Noto Sans,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0

And change the font name and the first number to something that works for you.

Did this work out for you in the end?
