Kde5 application (ex: kate) menubar font size

After the last kde update and the start of migration from kde4 to kde5, I've some replaced kde4  application with their kde5 counterpart (example: kate).
The problem is that I can't change the font in the menubar with systemsettings. The font change are applied to kde4 application but not in kde5 application.

There is a way to change the global font size for the kde5 applications?

Thanks

Re: Kde5 application (ex: kate) menubar font size

If I understand you well, you still have KDE4 and only few apps from KDE Applications 14.12.x build against of KF5. Try from konsole:

kcmshell5 fonts

and adjust fonts (kcmshell5 is part of kde-cli-tools).

Re: Kde5 application (ex: kate) menubar font size

Your assumptions are right. Thx for help, but I don't have "fonts" module. How can install?

kf5.kservice.sycoca: Trying to open ksycoca from "/home/virgolus/.cache/ksycoca5"
Could not find module 'fonts'. See kcmshell5 --list for the full list of modules

Modules installed on my system:

Re: Kde5 application (ex: kate) menubar font size

It looks like the font settings are in ~/.config/kdeglobals

[General]
fixed=DejaVu Sans Mono,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
font=DejaVu Sans,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
menuFont=DejaVu Sans,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
shadeSortColumn=true
smallestReadableFont=DejaVu Sans,9,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
taskbarFont=Oxygen-Sans,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
toolBarFont=DejaVu Sans,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
