Public bug reported:

gnome-tweak-tool:
  Installed: 3.8.1-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 3.8.1-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 3.8.1-0ubuntu1 0

I think I have reported this previously, but it doesn't seem to show up.
This tool and the new unity-tweak-tool:

Description:    Ubuntu 13.10
Release:        13.10
unity-tweak-tool:
  Installed: 0.0.6
  Candidate: 0.0.6
  Version table:
 *** 0.0.6 0

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Along with several other system tools windows fail to resize when the
fonts are enlarged.  This makes them illegible as the text is then cut
off with dierses (...).  The tool is useless if you cannot read the
captions in the label widgets.

Further, these windows are not resizable, so there is no remedy by that
means.

Since it has occured with increasing frequency on recent releases, I
believe this is the result of the use of a template that is poorly
designed without the appropriate resizing handles and options set.

Beyond acknowlegement, Canonical has been unresponsive to these reports.
Visually impared users are considerably disadvantaged by this
programming error.  This may be an upstream problem, and should be
communicated to Debian if that is so.  Some programmer, perhaps long
gone, has been careless.
