The default font sizes (which most apps and dash use) are defined in the
UITK so it should be in principle be possible to adjust them without other
changes in the UI, at least for apps that use the UITK and the default font
sizes.

It would be nice to be able to change that, and the px/GU value without too
much fiddling in the terminal, for non-technical people.

Perhaps we could expose both px/GU (or a less technical term for it) and
font size scaling ratio separately - as slider controls - in system
settings. This would allow a lot of flexibility for people who might need
to adjust them for various reasons.
