I don't have the tweak tool installed. I'm using HiDPI hardware. I set
the scale to 1.12 in the display preferences option, and each time I
start unity (or run "setsid unity") the font increases in size. It seems
that in the display preferences, it needs to be set to 1.0 for the
constant font size changing to not occur. I've therefore set this back
to 1.0, and instead set up a start-up script to "gsettings set
com.ubuntu.user-interface scale-factor "{'eDP1': 10}"" instead.-- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310316 Title: Text scaling factor changing unexpectedly Status in Unity: Confirmed Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I have a MacBook pro with a Retina display. I have set the "Scale for menu and title bars" setting (into Settings > Displays) to 1.5 to make the UI looks good on my screen. That works very well. But sometimes, usually after logging, all the fonts of the UI become much bigger. When that happen I open unity tweat tool and notice that the text scaling factor changed to 2.25. If I reset it to 1 the all the fonts go back to normal. The problem does not happen all the time. I would say it happen one time out of three logging. It may also happen when installing applications from the software center. I have yet to find a procedure to reproduce it all the times.
