text too small - almost forgot

[Jim]

This install has other problems.  Tonight I lost the toolbar and the 
menubar in Gwenview.  I also lost the menubar in Dolphin.  All the 
options I read online to restore them don't work.  I'm going to try 
installing Kubuntu 20.04 on another partition and try it for a while. 
I'm tired of messing with the 18.04 installation. Thanks for your help.
