Windows 10: In WIN version 1906 How can I alter the font of some specific items such as Menus, Icons,...

I am in Windows 10 version 1906 build 18362.76

How can I alter the font of some specific items such as Menus, Icons, Tooltips, Title bars, Message Boxes, and Palette titles. My husband cannot see well and I think this would help, but when I searched for help on this, I get old information that does not apply.


Thanks for your help,
