The importance of this bug really needs to be elevated. Unity font sizes should be based off of the default GTK font size, like most other parts of the UI. Check out the attached screenshot--it's useless. So much white space yet much of the text can't even be read. Notice how "0 reviews" gets cut off vertically. It just looks sloppy and amateurish. I'm using a 147 DPI display, which requires a text scaling factor of 1.54 to achieve accurate font sizing. My default font is 7.5 pt, and the rest of the desktop looks great, however Unity completely ignores this. This is a huge usability issue!
