What would help here is for someone to make a screenshot comparison of
the same windows, laid out in exactly the same positions, on Ubuntu,
Windows, and OS X.

For example, Thunderbird, Windows Live Mail, and Apple Mail showing
the same message in the same Imap mailbox; the Adobe Reader
Preferences window; and the Calculator window.

We might find that the problem is partly font size, but partly also
size and padding of interface controls.
