Surprised that this is not a more pressing issue, higher resolutions
start rolling out on high end laptops all over and Unity is not fit for
fight here. I just got a 3200x1800 13.3" laptop and using Unity on this
screen is not for the faint of heart. Sure I could scale everything with
xrandr but that is just an ugly  workaround. Hope to see some fast
improvement in this area, make Ubuntu ready for high end as well.

Title:
  Unity panel height and launcher width don't scale with system DPI/font
  settings

Status in Ubuntu on the Nexus 7:
  Confirmed
Status in Unity:
  Triaged
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  System Settings > Universal Access > Text size = Larger
  or
  gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 1.0
  increasing the value above 1.0 as desired.

  Most things scale properly except Unity. Most of Unity's fonts scale
  correctly, but elements like the launcher, tooltips, and panel don't
  grow like they should.

  I'm not sure if bumping the Gnome font size like this is the right approach or we should be doing something more like:
      xrandr --dpi ...
