with kubuntu go to systems settings and then the font settings, there is a dpi 
setting there, tweak that until you have adjusted the size to what you want.

If apps are hard-coding sizes, then your new proposed way to change sizes won't 
work.

Instead of asking for something new, encourage app developers to use an existing 
standard.
