12.04fontslibreofficeopenoffice.orgthemes
I am using LibreOffice 3.5.3.2 (Ubuntu 12.04) and the buttons to switch tabs in Calc are written with small fonts. They're so small I can't even read what is written on them.
I could not find a way to increase font size. Is this problem happenning only with me? Does anyone know a way to increase the font size of sheet names?
Unfortunately, the current answer is: you cannot (unless you figure out and modify the source code).
In this answer, I list the ways which do not work, to save future reader-modders the time and trouble of trying and failing.
Bug #756845 ("Unity dash search unable to change font/icon size") refers to this exact problem, as shown by part of the screenshot for the bug report:
The bug has been confirmed and labeled "low importance", with no comments by developers or anyone else on a workaround or when it will be resolved.
gnome-tweak-toolThis does not work either:
Changing the scaling factor appears to change everything BUT the dash/hud font size (that's a 1920x1080 screenshot below -- compare the terminal font size!):
dash-widgets.json in the Unity Theme folderYou can find a file called dash-widgets.json in /usr/share/unity/5/ and /usr/share/unity/themes. This contains a bunch of CSS-like settings that may give you hope, such as:
"preview-heading-small" : {
"main-title-size" : 23.0,
but changing them does not work. (the Dash font is approximately size 22)
Since the dash text field is almost exactly the height of the Ubuntu launcher icon, you might think decreasing the icon size would change the height of the text field and make its font smaller.
I found the solution. Follow these steps:
Install both .deb files and you're done. That fixed for me.

Different themes can have different effect on applications. Sometimes this can cause serious problems as shown below. Sheet tabs are hardly readable in first theme but are very clear in second theme.
So changing your system theme can solve this problem.
