Yes, this is caused by the recent qtubuntu change where we now correctly
provide the QScreen physical size.

But the font size is correct. I just measured it with a ruler on my
Nexus 4. I set the terminal font size to 10 (via the apps configuration
GUI) and the text height is around 3 mm. Which matches with my
expectation if the size is being set in points.

One point is ~ 0.35mm. So a 10 points font would have text of height
around 3.5 mm.

Before that change, QScreen was defaulting to 100 dpi when calculating
its physical size, which is way lower than  the 318 of Nexus 4. So yes,
I would expect text sizes in points (as opposed to pixels) to get 3
times bigger after that qtubuntu fix.

So the fix for this bug is to have ubuntu-terminal-app to size its VT
font in pixels and to factor in grid units when doing to. The whole UI
is measured in grid units and ubuntu-terminal-app's VT font should be
not exception to that.

But if you do insist in having the VT font size in a physical unit (ie,
point size) then please do provide a broader range of values in that
slider.

  After updating my Nexus 4 and Krillin over the weekend I notice the
  terminal now has really huge text. Even dialling down the font size in
  the app to 8pt results in huge unusable text.

  Before:- http://people.canonical.com/~alan/screenshots/device-2015-11-09-165137.png
  After:- http://people.canonical.com/~alan/screenshots/device-2015-11-09-165130.png

  With the same font size setting on both.
