Preference option to set "Interface/Theme" font size
It would be helpful for people with less than perfect eyesight if there were a way in Preferences to set the font size, and even nicer to be able to choose which specific font to use in the Theme/User Interface. See this thread over on the pixls forums:

Personally I find GIMP's default font size (11px ?) too small for easy reading. So I set the Theme font size for GIMP-2.10 by directly editing the gtkrc file for the particular Theme that I use, by uncommenting out and modifying the line that reads '#gtk-font-name = "Sans 11"' (line 61 in the particular gktrc file that I modify).
But I build GIMP from source and so I know where that gtkrc file is located (on my system in the install folder, in "$HOME/code/install/share/gimp/2.0/themes/", but of course that's not where it will be for someone else). Also I have write-access to the install folder where the themes are stored if I want to make changes later. This doesn't describe most GIMP users.
I'm sure there are workarounds that anyone can use if they know how. But the ability to change the theme/UI font size is so generally useful that it would be nice to have an entry in "Preferences/Interface/Theme" for changing the Theme font.
As we age, many of us need larger fonts to see comfortably. And there are many vision-impaired users for whom larger fonts are an absolute necessity for being able to use an application at all. Having recently set up a Linux distribution for a vision-impaired user, I can tell you firsthand that all that automatic accessibility stuff that all the Linux distributions boast about doesn't actually work very well in practice, and also doesn't work well across desktops. Unless/until all that is sorted out for Windows and Mac and Linux so that it "just works", it would be a kindness if GIMP provided an option to choose the Theme font and size.
