A few months ago I installed the Unity Tweak Tool to experiment with different font sizes.
In the end I decided that the default 1.0 size was fine. Now I occasionally suffer from tiny (0.5) fonts at startup. Something truly weird happens when I use Tweak to reset the correct value (1.0). It's as if Tweak is fighting my changes. When I use the mouse to to click on the button to increment the font size, the Tweak tool immediately undoes my change. It's impossible to fix the font size using the mouse. The only way to force the change is to use the keyboard to type '1.1' into the box. Tweak decrements this to 1.0, the correct value. Everything is normal again if I immediately quit Tweak after this, until the next boot that shrinks the fonts. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

I have set the "Scale for menu and title bars" setting (into Settings > Displays) to 1.5 to make the UI looks good on my screen. That works very well. But sometimes, usually after logging, all the fonts of the UI become much bigger. When that happen I open unity tweat tool and notice that the text scaling factor changed to 2.25. If I reset it to 1 the all the fonts go back to normal. The problem does not happen all the time. I would say it happen one time out of three logging. It may also happen when installing applications from the software center. I have yet to find a procedure to reproduce it all the times.
