I just installed Jessie with Mate DE.
I had no trouble setting font size for menu-bars/drop down

I wish to use LibreOffice Calc.
Two problems:
1. I need the text of Help Screens to be large enough to read.
2. I want to force a specific default Font Family and Font
Size for cells on*ALL* spreadsheets. I can set for specific
region of current spreadsheet only.
Secondary question:
Any way to force minimum Font Size for any operator input
independent of application?
If you have a high-res monitor with a high pixel density, you
need to tell your desktop manager about it.
I don't have THAT particular problem ;/ I'm using a Lenovo R61
laptop. The Debian Installer chose appropriate pixel density. My
problem is being of tri-focal wearing generation.
It will be hidden in
preferences, probably. For MATE: System:Preference:Appearance,
Fonts Tab, look under Rendering, click Details. At the top will
be Resolution, in dots-per-inch. My 27-inch, 1440p monitor needs
it set to 107 ppi.
Though not addressing my problem, that served as a very useful
diagnostic tool.
I found that increasing DPI by ~50% made LibreOffice's help text
comfortably viewable.
All this caused me to change my search criteria to discover
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/General/020 which says:
"
The visual appearance of the online help is managed by a
configuration file,
depending on version:
<LibO_installation>/Basis/help/en/defaut.css.
or
<LibO_installation>/help/en/defaut.css.
You can change the font family, size, color and lines in this
file. Save the
modified file and restart LibO (included the Quickstarter).
"
For my installation of Debian 8.0 the file is:
/usr/share/libreoffice/help/en-US/default.css
Now that Help is legible, that leaves me only to discover how to
force default font size for *content* of all spreadsheet cells to
a suitable value.
If you use Gnome 2 or 3, there is a similar setting. Other
Window managers and desktops probably have a similar setting.
This will not solve all such problems, but most apps will look
better at the correct ppi density.
