How to increase the icon text size in Ubuntu 18.04?
How can I increase the icon text size in Ubuntu 18.04? I have tried
using gnome-tweaks but I was only able to change font size of window titles and interface items.
Here is a screen shot of three icons from my desktop and I want to change the font size of the text below each icon.

Ah! Thanks, but why couldn't you have said that in the first place? Time and again some important info is omitted when explaining something, and it's very frustrating and time-wasting.
