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 :)

Title:
Text scaling factor changing unexpectedly
Status in Unity:
Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
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.
