How would I know whether I'm testing the correct branch? I was linked to
here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed and did as it told.
I now have 5.0.2 installed.

Matthew McGowan, what exactly is it that you are saying about the fonts?
Can you not see on the screenshot that the text "View" (in the menu) and
the text "Games" (in the window) have the same pixel size (8 pixels
high) but have different gamma correction? I know it _should_ be
rendered as other gtk labels, but it _isn't_. That's what this bug is
about.

I made a gtk label in Glade and pasted a screenshot of it right next to
the offending text in the software. To me, it's very obvious that the
text is wrong, even though the size is the same. It is definetely not
because of the small font. Even if I select a smaller UI font, fonts in
other applications only get smaller - they don't get uglier.

I don't understand what you mean by saying the text is intended to be
small compared to the default font - it's not. The text I circled seems
to have normal font size. However, the categories pane on the left, has
a smaller font. Which I also dislike. I selected "Ubuntu 9" for the UI
font because _that's the font I'd like to be used for UI_. I don't see
any good reason to disregard the user's preferences.
