Public bug reported:

This results from incorrectly assuming that everybody has a 96 dpi
screen.

In KDE settings you can configure gtk applications appearence to use the
qtcurve style that makes gnome apps consistent in look with kde apps and
- most important - allows their appearance to be controlled from the kde
system settings.

Furthermore in KDE settings you can configure the screen dpi.

Whenever you have a laptop with a good screen resolution, the ubuntu
default to ignore edid and assume that all screens are 96dpi makes
everything unreadable. So you need using the kde settings to set the dpi
to something better. For instance 120 dpi.  It is unfortunate that this
breaks everything.  Sad. Even windows can be set to use 120dpi.

Some gtk apps follow the qtcurve settings and work OK.  Synaptics for
instance.

All gtk-3 apps do not have qtcurve customisation and need to have
gtkrc-3.0 files manually created, otherwise menuy fonts get too big.

Some gtk-2.0 applications want to do things their own way and need gtkrc
files to be specially created. Emacs is among them. It needs a .gtkrc
file with fonts settings in .emacs.d/ otherwise its menu fonts become to
big.

Some gtk-2.0 applications just seem to ignore anything and to be
completely undocomented with regards to theming.  Gimp is among them.
Apparently there is no way to achieve a sane menu font size in gimp in
kubuntu at 120dpi.
