Photoshop CC menu label font sizes

I'm just getting started with Photoshop CC.

Can the menu label font sizes be increased from within the Photoshop CC program? I'm pretty sure the answer is NO. If I'm wrong, how do I do it?

Any ideas on why that isn't an option?

Check under program option.

(Edit-Preference-Interface)

Please be aware that unless you have a high resolution monitor you are in for some frustration...

Rongnongno,
Thanks for the info.
Where do I find "program option" ?
I didn't see that under any of the menus.

My monitor's resolution is set at 2560 x 1440.
I can set it to lower resolutions; but, that defeats having the higher resolution monitor. :-(

As Rongnongno said

Edit > Preferences > Interface tab

You may be able to change the font size using the UI font size dropdown, which ranges from tiny to Large (this does not work on my monitor) or you can scale the UI font size (Auto, 100% or 200%).

On mine the Auto and 100% are the same, the 200% makes everything four times larger (including the boxes and panels). I find it totally useless and use a magnifying glass instead. I have lowered the screen resolution a little to make the tool text readable.

Problem Solved !
Thank you both for heading me in the correct direction.

I used Edit>Preferences>Experimental Features and selected "Scale UI 200% for high density displays" .
That works about perfectly. Perhaps it makes the fonts and tools a little too big; but, It's a lot better than the other settings I found.
Thanks again!
:D
