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!

Title:
  Unity dash search unable to change font/icon size

Bug description:
  When you have the unity dash open (by clicking the ubuntu icon in the
  top left) it opens the black-background menu. The font in this window
  is massive compared to my appearance settings, and is rather
  incongruous, looking out of place when the rest of my screen is using
  the standard settings.

  My appearance settings have all the font sizes set to 10 or 11pt, as
  in my terminal, and yet the unity dash goes for jumbo-font nastiness,
  looking really terrible against the rest of my desktop - please can
  this be made consistent throughout the UI, or at least allow me to set
  it somewhere. Please see screenshot for description.
