I understand how to increase the font size within an editor tab, but I'd like to increase the font size of the main navigation menu and most importantly, the tab titles.

7This is a reminder for future me: there is an option in Editor > General > Editor Tabs window called "Use small fonts for labels". If you uncheck this, the tab font size will increase, without having to change the entire UI font. – Rodrigo Saling Apr 11 '21 at 23:06
