I have low vision and I thought my vision was just deteriorating! I happened to boot into 18.04 and even after updating it I noticed my fonts in 18.04 were much better on the same hardware. It is most noticeable in the pull-down panels. In 20.04, sure enough if I change the scaling factor from 1.25 to 1.30 the font size is increased and if I then decrease back to 1.25 the font size remains at the higher setting. This high setting does not withstand a re-boot. I am left to conclude, reducing the scaling factor no longer works and at boot, no notice is taken of the setting in place at the last power off.
