How to Increase Font of Menu bar in Eclipse

Question

Does anyone know how to increase the Font of Menu bar & project explorer in Eclipse? I already know how to increase the code font.

All available font settings can be found under Window -> Preferences (then use search box, e.g. type "font" there). However, there're no settings you want. These fonts are the system ones. Looks like you're on Windows, so try this solutions: https://superuser.com/questions/951199/windows-10-system-font-size-change — Dmitrii Bocharov, Aug 12 '17 at 20:41
I'm not trying to Change font in all windows menus. Just the application IDE Eclipse. — myfunnyfella, Aug 13 '17 at 03:18

I see no such file. Eclipse 2021-12. – Damn Vegetables Jan 20 '22 at 17:21
it may have been moved to: /d/dev/java-2022-03/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.e4.ui.css.swt.theme - but this folder is empty. – Ray Tayek Jun 01 '22 at 01:40

This is a non-answer. I see this "increase system DPI/system font" answer all the time for this kind of question, but this has significant consequences (affecting other applications that are already big) on Windows. – Damn Vegetables Jan 20 '22 at 17:17
