Status in Unity: New Status in Unity Tweak Tool: Invalid Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, with a 13.3 screen running at 3200x1800 pixels... I bought this partly to test out the UI scaling in Unity!... and I have to say it's very awesome (both the screen and the UI scaling)... however I have encountered a strange problem. Seemingly at random, I have so far 3 times in 10 days had the font size (not UI size) suddenly jump to something much too large. UI scaling for the display is set at 1.38x and this is quite perfect for me, it sure means no one will be able to read my screen over my shoulder, but I that's fine! I had to install a Firefox plugin to apply scaling there, but I realise why that is. Anyway... I installed ubuntu-tweak and discovered that the large fonts were due to the Text Scaling Factor having jumped up to a number above 2.5... I also discovered that I could not move the slider because every time I moved it the fonts re-scaled the slider moved and lost mouse focus... and the slider reset to where it was to begin with... I clicked the button on the right to return to 1.0, and it returned to 1.4, which I assume is representative of the 1.38 I set in the screen scaling... but I have no explanation for why it suddenly jumped (when I logged out and back in) from 1.4 to something like 2.5.)..

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1310316] Re: Text scaling factor changing unexpectedly
I can confirm that #24 resolved the issue for me. As long as I only use the slider in `Settings Display` to scale the UI and make sure that `Universal Access Large Text` is off, the font sizes remain stable from session to session. I wanted the fonts to be a little larger so I adjust them (via either dconf or unity-tweak). The trick is not to use the option to scale the fonts (via dconf or unity-tweak), because that would flip on Large Text and I'd go back to the behavior where the font sizes changed from session to session.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1310316] Re: Text scaling factor changing unexpectedly
There may be more than issue here. But the suggestion that the Large Text option is causeing the issue seems promising for my case. The option gets flipped on when I change the fonts, e.g. via ubuntu-tweak or dconf and presumably is at the cause of the exponential increase in font size. -- 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.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1310316] Re: Text scaling factor changing unexpectedly
I am also experiencing this on a Toshiba Z30t-A. The 1920x1080 is a bit
too much for a 13.3 laptop. I've been tinkering with dconf and narrowed
down my desired settings to:
gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor # same as '1.0'
gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Interface text-scale-factor 1.25
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 1.25
gsettings set com.ubuntu.user-interface scale-factor {'eDP1': 10}
But I can't figure out how to make them stick from session to session. I
created a startup script as #22 suggests but font sizes are still all
over the place. (Even if I only tweak the two text-scaling settings and
leave UI scale-factors alone.)
A temporary fix for nailing down the settings would be much appreciated.
As others have pointed out it's GNOME's text scaling setting that seems
to be wonky. (I believe that's the technical term :)
