How do you know that most people don't have any preference about the
font size? Every people I know (I tested it on almost 100 people in my
company) doesn't want to use Ubuntu because of too big, ugly fonts
(interface/deskto fonts are much bigger than website fonts for example).
My friend that removed Ubuntu from his computer went to me and said that
fonts on my machine look a lot better than they looked on his.
I think that it's not font size that matter, but "Ubuntu 10" font look a
lot sharper than "Ubuntu 11" and it's A LOT easier to read - spacing is
better, there is no gray outline around the fonts. In previous versions
of Ubuntu user was able to make fonts sharper by selecting "Full
hinting" from the font menu, but I see that there is no such key in
dconf anymore. Also, gnome-tweak-tool installs a lot of dependencies and
it makes the Ubuntu experience a lot worse for users without eagle sight
that want to make fonts more readable.

No. It does appeal to some people, but the large majority have no
preferences to what the font size is. If you want to change font
settings to your liking, you can do this from the gnome-tweak-tool
application. You can install it from the software center.

dear unity developer team,
could you please reduce the default font and ui size of unity and
ubuntu overall, they really taking much screen real estate, or at
least give us option to reduce the dpi or ppi setting like the
one in windows.
after playing with unity and ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10, and changing
back to windows, it feels that windows font and ui size are much
better, perhaps because it's smaller. for people who love big
size font and ui still could enlarge them from dpi or ppi
setting. in windows there's a 96% ppi, 100% ppi, and 125% ppi. i
also believe in mac osx, the font and ui size are almost
identical small with windows.
with all due respect, we're still young, perhaps the bigger one
for the old folks, i know my boss love the bigger font size since
he is 50+ years old. at least make it more attractive with
younger audience.
i often to reduce font size in gnome classic to get the point as
windows font and ui size, but somehow they still look big for
monitors under 1920x1080 resolution. :(
i've been quite a long ubuntu users since 7.04 up until now. our
office use ubuntu as their primary os up to the end 2010 and
changed back to windows due to back office program changing.
though unity has great appearance, i find it hard to use when
opening multi applications and change them back and forth. gotta
love the old task bar on top or below. the side bar is really
short due to all monitor tends to have shorter vertical pixel.
anyway, keep up the good work, looking forward to 12.04 lts
version! hope the UI experience will be much smoother and more
polished.
kind regards,
/charles
everytime i get ahead, i feel more dead.
