The text scaling factor setting is highly undesireable. Neighter Mozilla 
apps or QT apps are respecting it. So with this change you'll get 
smaller/bigger fonts on the desktop, but Skype, Guitar Pro and Firefox 
will remain intact. This will make user to search "changing Firefox font 
size in Ubuntu" and lead to zero results. I think I should remove text 
scaling factor from my app.
