Just "up the heat" a bit, I am also experiencing this issue. Ubuntu
14.04, Acer Aspire S7. I will certainly try the Tweak tool to rectify
in the meantime, thanks to all who found & posted that.

Title:
UI scaling and font scaling sometime get confused/change at random.
Status in Unity:
New
Status in Unity Tweak Tool:
Invalid
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I have a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, with a 13.3" screen running at 3200x1800
pixels... I bought this partly to test out the UI scaling in Unity!...
and I have to say it's very awesome (both the screen and the UI
scaling)... however I have encountered a strange problem.
Seemingly at random, I have so far 3 times in 10 days had the font
size (not UI size) suddenly jump to something much too large.
UI scaling for the display is set at 1.38x and this is quite perfect
for me, it sure means no one will be able to read my screen over my
shoulder, but I that's fine! I had to install a Firefox plugin to
apply scaling there, but I realise why that is.
Anyway... I installed ubuntu-tweak and discovered that the large fonts
were due to the "Text Scaling Factor" having jumped up to a number
above 2.5... I also discovered that I could not move the slider
because every time I moved it the fonts re-scaled the slider moved and
lost mouse focus... and the slider reset to where it was to begin
with... I clicked the button on the right to return to 1.0, and it
returned to 1.4, which I assume is representative of the 1.38 I set in
the screen scaling... but I have no explanation for why it suddenly
jumped (when I logged out and back in) from 1.4 to something like
2.5.)..
