I looked at all log files to find evidence, what happens the moment the right scalinf finally happens with:
$ alias tail-all-logs='find /var/log -iregex '\''.*[^\.][^0-9]+$'\'' -not -iregex '\''.*gz$'\'' 2> /dev/null | xargs tail -n0 -f | ccze -A' $ tail-all-logs this is the last output before it happens: these are the latest log entries before the font restores ==> /var/log/Xorg.0.log <== [ 96.674] (II) XKB: reuse xkmfile /var/lib/xkb/server-FC2F90F8B0C3DBE2EFCD7972D130E7D1B60F8974.xkm ==> /var/log/syslog <== Aug 18 01:54:52 nebelhaufen colord: Profile added: icc-6a245ab2d8892e2e56232af93cd48b81 Aug 18 01:54:52 nebelhaufen colord: Profile added: icc-654b99c87e67edb1c1cfb0dcb7fa9d04 Aug 18 01:54:52 nebelhaufen colord: Profile added: icc-c227f46f246694ba9971f270cb61a0c1 Aug 18 01:54:52 nebelhaufen colord: Profile added: icc-10080b14e236a5c33088e1d3404db83c Aug 18 01:54:52 nebelhaufen colord: Profile added: icc-79e56e42bf930a269bb6a0421eb80753 Aug 18 01:54:52 nebelhaufen colord: Profile added: icc-d0f2748c6e21eee954827c71e1e81c12 Aug 18 01:54:52 nebelhaufen colord: Profile added: icc-7cfad1a392b1ed7aaf7bd4cb60faaae4 ==> /var/log/Xorg.0.log <== [ 96.704] (II) XKB: reuse xkmfile /var/lib/xkb/server-4B76643CF3B67762F65630E234872533EDAA4086.xkm -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gconf in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1322026 Title: font-scaling factor is not aplied early enough Status in “gconf” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: There are many ways to set the text-scale-factor, for example dconf- editor, I used unity-tweak-util, but in the end they seem to set these values in the global configuration: org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor com.canonical.Unity.Interface text-scale-factor This solves it (for most programms) and everything is in a readeable size. Now the Problem: When I boot my PC this setting seems to take its effect later than the desktop is booted, cause when I instantly open nautilus when the desktop is up, I still have it all in a tiny font. If I wait some 10 seconds more and start nautilus then, I have it scaled the right way. I checked right after boot-time, I opened a console and watched the output of `gsettings list-recursively|grep text-scal` - the setting is already on 2.0, but everything is still tiny.
