Description
Since "upgrading" to kubuntu20.04 the arduino IDE starts with such ridiculously small menu fonts (4pt?) it is unusable.
Obviously any menus that might influence the font size are also unusable if they exist. Nothing in the system fonts appears to fix this. All other applications seem fine. Same result 1.8.9 and 1.8.13. It's quite annoying, I'm sure there is a simple fix but it eludes me (and clearly shouldn't be the case).

Research direction
No source file or test is identified. Start by reproducing the unreadable menu fonts on Kubuntu 20.04 with Arduino IDE 1.8.9 and 1.8.13, then compare the IDE with other applications; done means identifying and correcting the IDE-specific font rendering issue without affecting normal menu readability.
