Normally, I would agree with having to install a third-party app to fine
tune a very deep and minor system setting, but "font size" is not such a
setting and I completely disagree with your position here. We have all been
criticizing Gnome-Shell for being non-customizable and were hoping Ubuntu
could improve on that although they use the same Gnome backend. I understand
not having the man-power to implement this but please don't give the sorry
excuse of "most people...".

No. It does appeal to some people, but the large majority have no
preferences to what the font size is. If you want to change font settings to
your liking, you can do this from the gnome-tweak-tool application. You can
install it from the software center.

dear unity developer team,
could you please reduce the default font and ui size of unity and ubuntu
overall, they really taking much screen real estate, or at least give us
option to reduce the dpi or ppi setting like the one in windows.
after playing with unity and ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10, and changing back to
windows, it feels that windows font and ui size are much better, perhaps
because it's smaller. for people who love big size font and ui still could
enlarge them from dpi or ppi setting. in windows there's a 96% ppi, 100%
ppi, and 125% ppi. i also believe in mac osx, the font and ui size are
almost identical small with windows.
with all due respect, we're still young, perhaps the bigger one for the
old folks, i know my boss love the bigger font size since he is 50+ years
old. at least make it more attractive with younger audience.
i often to reduce font size in gnome classic to get the point as windows
font and ui size, but somehow they still look big for monitors under
1920x1080 resolution. :(
i've been quite a long ubuntu users since 7.04 up until now. our office
use ubuntu as their primary os up to the end 2010 and changed back to
windows due to back office program changing.
though unity has great appearance, i find it hard to use when opening
multi applications and change them back and forth. gotta love the old task
bar on top or below. the side bar is really short due to all monitor tends
to have shorter vertical pixel.
anyway, keep up the good work, looking forward to 12.04 lts version! hope
the UI experience will be much smoother and more polished.
kind regards,
/charles
everytime i get ahead, i feel more dead.
