The text used in the Front End menus is too small on my Linux computer. I want to increase its size. How can I do it?

I have Mathematica 10.

    $\begingroup$ Your question is not clear. Do you mean menus you generate in your own code or do you mean the menus that Mathematica displays as part of its notebook interface? $\endgroup$

On my Ubuntu 15.04 system Mathematica 10.2 does pick up the system settings for scaling. I can go to System Settings -> Display, adjust the scaling with the slider there, restart Mathematica, and its fonts will be adjusted just like all other applications.
