LibreOffice 6 is a gtk3 application. It appears to be following the

You can set the menu font and font size of all gtk3 applications,
including LibreOffice, in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.in

It appears to be Wilber, the Gimp mascot. There is a small one in the

But editing ~/.gtkrc-2.0 is indeed the easiest and most hassle-free way
when not using G

I have been able to install the latest version of Sigil in Jessie by
following these instructions:
